Connect Component - Coincident

Position selected faces and edges so that they share the same plane. Position selected edges and vertices so that they touch.

If two entities of the same type are made coincident, they will be identical. So, for instance, two lines with a coincident constraint will have the same axis. Coincident constraints may also be applied in the following cases:

• Between a point and any other geometric entity. The point will then lie on the other geometric entity.

• Between a cylinder and a line (the line will become a generator of the cylinder).

• Between two cylinders or two co-planar circles.

Required Step 1

Select the component entities to be connected. If you select a second entity from the same component, your second selection will replace the first.

Valid inputs are curves, points and surfaces in any combination. For example:

Notes:

• A connect relation will not be created between two components of the same sub-assembly when the assembly is active.

• A connect relation will not be created if none of the selected components belongs to the active assembly.

Required Step 2

Set parameters. Use Alignments to specify the connect solution required.

If this is the final result, press OK or Apply in the Feature Guide to complete the function.

Optional Step 1

Setting the coordinate system rotation parameters is only available when positioning a component specific UCS (User Coordinate System) to another component specific UCS.
