I have a routine that makes a mate to an inserted part, butno matter what I put for the distance value, it always makes mydistance mate 1"

I have the same question for my angle mates, I put 45 as my value,but they come out 58.31007809deg in the assembly.

I think it has to do with the values vs units thing?? Is therequired value a real/integer/etc... and it's not equal to my dim?

I'm running the macro in an assembly, and the units are IPS (inchpound second) whichis what I want.

Here are the two commands to make the mates: (the top one is theangle mate and the bottom one is the distance mate)

Thanks!
