Author: Children and puppies have a way of keeping people busy and my home is no exception to the rule. My five year old is extremely inquisitive (and possessive) and has it figured out already that this is not a job I’m doing when I write the blog, so, for him, this that I do must be some sort of selfish hobby. Now, the problem with that reasoning is that, in his book, moms should not have hobbies. It’s OK for some moms to work, but hobbies… no way! Unless, of course, their hobbies include baking cookies, knitting sweaters, and driving children to the zoo, then it’s OK to have a hobby. Luckily, despite my son’s efforts to keep me away from here, and by cleverly playing hide and seek, I’ve managed to carve some time to put together a little video on Mate References. The examples are simple, but I hope someone can find this useful. And as always with mates, apply with caution, to avoid creating situations that may over define the assembly.

Super awesome video tutorial Gabi. Capturing the references something I have never done, thanks for showing how to do it. This is one of the parts of SW that a lot of users do not utilize I believe. Thanks for the great tip!
Gabi,
Thanks, I never knew you could do this till now.
Gabi… which program do you use to capture video?? I want to make material for my web site related to Solidworks.
Thanks!!
Hi Freddy! Sorry it took me a while to answer! I use Camtasia Studio 5.1 I think they already released version 6.
Wonderful! What a time saver and a valuable feature.
You are very good at explaining in your videos.
I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you!
Warm regards from Ventura, CA,
