23.18. - Now we need to mate the second cover as we did the first 'Side Cover'.

Rotate the view (not the part) to get a better view of the faces to select. A different

way to add mates is to select one of the faces to be mated, and from the pop-up

tool bar select the "Mate" command; once the command is opened this face will be

pre-selected and we only need to select the second face to add the next Concentric

mate. Selecting the face of the 'Side Cover first makes the component transparent

(the option is at the bottom of the "Mate" command), making it easier for us to

make other selections through the transparent component.

Before adding the second concentric mate, left-mouse-click-and-drag the

cover. Note it can move and rotate about its axis; under-constrained

components are the basis for SOLIDWORKS to simulate motion.
