    In This Topic
    Mate is a class that helps to define the position of 3D placements. One or more Mates belong to an object of type Placement3D.

    Syntax
    public class Mate 
    public ref class Mate 
    Remarks
    There are two different types of mates: stored in database and generated in runtime. First can be created by user and assign to a Placement3D. Name of generated mate depends on type of object. Mate named 'V1'is placed on first vertex (lowest left in local coordinate system of the object). Numeration of those mates is done in counterclockwise direction. Very similar are mates which name starts with 'M', only those mates are placed in the middle of edges and the first on is the lowest one (in the local coordinate system). Third type of mate that can be found is named "C". This one is placed in the center of object. Check mate description for more information about current mate.
