Assigning distance mate equations within Assemblies

    Hi,
    I am working in an assembly. I have two parts constrained along an
    axis of another rod which is fixed. I want to be able to move one of
    the parts along the axis and have the other part move along same axis
    at a different rate. Currently I have distance mates between the two
    parts..... so I'm guessing i need to write an equation that
    references the distance mate - how do i do this?
    Hopefully this is clear
    Thanks
    Shane

    Probably the easiest way to get you started is to point you to the help
    area. Look up "equations, edit and delete" and it will walk you through
    creating one. Basically, you tell it you want to create a new one, and then
    pick the dims out of the graphics area while putting in the operators. You
    will have something like DifferentRateDim=ConstantRateDim*.82. Start with
    the help and then come back if you need more help - you can do it.
