Help with Inventor Assembling
I am new in Inventor, but already have a very good understanding of the program. I can draw anything I want to, and make everything look great. The only thing I have problems with is assembling.

Attached I have put a picture of part of the ramp I am making for my field in Inventor. I have 3 ipt parts, the 5 long planks, the 2 4ft planks, and the 4 legs. (As you can see in the picture). I need to know how I can successfully place all these parts together in an assembly. I have them all fixed up how I want them to, but I can't get them all aligned up with the constraints. Is there an easier way to contrain all of the parts?

Is there a way to constrain the 2 pieces at more than 1 point so it isn't crooked? Any good tips for assembling?

Thanks!

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.
