This creates an insert assembly constraint between two Inventor components (a part or assembly). An insert constraint can be thought of as a combination of a mate constraint between two planar component faces and a mate constraint between the axes of the two components. A typical use of this is positions a bolt in a hole, where the bolt "shaft" is aligned with the hole and the bottom face of the bolt head is mated to the top face of the hole part. . Reversed reverses the direction of the mate of the first component selected.Aligned reverses the direction of the mate of the second component selected.

| entity1 | string | Name of the first item (face, edge, etc.). |
| iMate1 | string | Name of an iMate that may be supplied for first item instead of entity1. |
| part2 | part | Part or assembly for the second item. |
