first you need to click the " move component" button instead of just moving the parts as you normally would. Then in the menu on the left, select " collision detection" and then check the " stop at collision" box. This should stop the part that you are moving when it encounters another surface. Doesn't always work, could just be how I modelled the one part... Will have issues if there are already intersecting parts when you start the movement. Hope that helps.
If don't work, maybe SW give you a message like this: "Part is in colision; STOP at colision is disabled". This message tell you that 2 parts IN ALL ASSEMBLYare in colision. Not necesary the parts you want. To check the colision between 2 certain parts check THIS PARTS ONLY and select the parts you are interested. Now should be work.
Hope you understand what I say because my english is not very good.
Try mate the partsusing an ADVANCED MATE "distance". Set MINIMUM VALUE = 0 and MAXIMUM VALUE ... what you want (be resonable !). Learn more about ADVANCED MATES from the SW's help files.
If you need more help email me the files (with explications, of course, and I try help you).
