iMate Constraint <IviMateConstraint>

Synopsis

This creates an iMateResult between two Inventor components, using matching iMates (which can be thought of as half of a constraint definition) in each component. iMates are matched based on their properties. An iMateConstraint will consume the selected iMates, meaning that they will not be available for any other constraint. Composite iMates can effectively create multiple constraints through a single operation.
