So, i'm trying to assemble two parts in ptc. A hex bearing and a hex shaft. But from I can see, there is no way to "insert" the shaft or mate the edges together in order to move it into place. When i try that it simply rotates the part. :confused:

Pick any two adjacent pairs of planes in the hex.

if the shaft and bearing are not exactly the same size, you can put a Datum Axis down the middle of each and then use Orienting planes on each component to define it's "clock" position.

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly!
