    .. I am trying to selct an assembly which is a conveyor . Then select
    another assembly which is an idler , and place them equisdistant on
    conveyor. I was trying to pick a start and end point and have
    Solidworks calculate distance and then place the assemblys
    automatically, equaly placed on the original assembly. I was trying to
    do this with vb.net Or .macros or combination. Do you have any ideas
    or someplace you could point me toward.

    Look into advanced mates, "Symmetry" and "Width".

    Also, you could use a sketch in the assembly to lay out locations and
    then mate to the sketch.
