Multilple Mate Macro

    Does anybody know of a macro that will let you apply mates to multiple
    objects all at once? For example, I do alot of piping skids that have
    alot of gaskets. What I do now is drag the gasket from the feature
    pallete and it automatically gives me a coincedent & concentric mate.
    At this point the part is still not "locked" in, it can still rotate
    so I then have to add a parallel mate between one of the gaskets
    planes and one of the top level planes. After I have my gaskets in it
    would be nice to be able to pick say the front plane from each gasket
    and make them all parallel to the top level front plane all in one
    shot. Any ideas?

    thanks,

    I just emailed you a macro that will parallel mate the same plane
    between all selected components.

    Later,
