Contraining parts with slots

    I have been assembling parts that have slots in them. What would be the
    best way to constrain a part to another when one part has slots and the
    other has taps? I don't see where you can use the axis constraint. I've
    been making planes for the parts to get the middle of the slots to line up
    on the taps. I would think there would be a better way.

    Thanks,

  2. The best way I have found is to have a sketch point in the center of the
    slot, and then in the assy, mate that point to the temp axis of the tapped
    hole.
