Positions the selected part or subassembly into the active assembly. Parts are positioned in assemblies using a combination of assembly relationships.
For more information on positioning parts in assemblies, see Placing parts in assemblies.
For more information on positioning parts with relationships, see Assembly relationships.
Options
Displays the Options dialog box, so you can specify the part placement options you want to use.
Occurrence Properties
Accesses the Occurrence Properties dialog box for the part.
Construction Display
Specifies which construction elements are displayed when placing a part in an assembly or when you are editing the position of a part. For example, you may want to display the reference planes for a part so you can use the a reference plane to help you position a part.
Activate Part
Activates the selected part. When placing a subassembly using FlashFit or the Reduced Steps mode, the parts in the subassembly must be active before you can select a face. If the subassembly is not already active, you can use the Activate Part button on the Assemble command bar to activate the placement part in the subassembly which contains the face you want to select.
Relationship List
Lists the relationships applied to the part. You can replace a previously applied relationship by selecting a relationship from the list and then selecting a new relationship from the Relationship Types list.
Relationship Types
Lists the assembly relationship types you can apply. Parts can be positioned using the following relationship options:
|
|
FlashFit |
|
|
Mate |
|
|
Planar Align |
|
|
Axial Align |
|
|
Insert |
|
|
Connect |
|
|
Angle |
|
|
Tangent |
|
|
Cam |
|
|
Parallel |
|
|
Match Coordinate Systems |
|
|
Gear/Motion |
Note:
The Insert option applies a mate relationship with a fixed offset value and an axial align relationship with its rotational value fixed.
The FlashFit option places a mate, planar align, axial align, or connect relationship based on the element types you select. For more information on using the FlashFit option, see Assembly relationships or work through the Basic Assembly Tutorial.
Steps
The steps provided on the command bar depend upon which relationship you select from the Relationship Types list:
Dimension Style
Lists and applies the available dimension styles.
Round-Off
Sets the round-off for the value. This control is sensitive to the unit setting (decimal or fractional) and contains values as appropriate for the unit. This control is also sensitive to the dimension being placed and contains values as appropriate for the dimension.
