Note: To determine if a mate or planar align relationship is applied, the orientation of the two faces is compared, and if the faces are closer to a mate solution, a mate relationship is applied. If the two faces are closer to a planar align solution, a planar align relationship is applied. You can use the Flip button or TAB key to apply the other relationship.
When using the Assemble command to position a part already in an assembly using FlashFit, the Flip option is available when you select circular edges. When placing a new part into an assembly with FlashFit using circular edges, the Flip option is not available. You can edit the relationship later.
