Define articulation configuration
Menu access : Assembly | Define component | Define articulation configuration
Description :
The new function Assembly | Define components | define articulation configuration allows to define positioning constraints in a sub assembly (in place or not) and use them in an assembly to position or move dynamically the sub assembly using the Edit | move parents function. Example : the rod of a jack which comes out when we position it or move it dynamically. In this way, positioning constraints are kept in each level of assembly.
General philosophy :
Enter the configuration
name 
The tree opens automatically on the configurations of articulation set:
Positioning constraints already defined in the file are automatically included in the "automatic articulation" set.
The constraints of articulations which could have been defined in the template file of the file in which you are defining a configuration articulation are automatically included in the "Articulation constraints" set.
The "Manual articulations" set enables you to manually add your own articulations in the file. To add a manual articulation, you have to use the right click button of your mouse, in the symbolic tree , on the "Manual articulations" set and choose "insert".
Specific points :
Articulation configuration can be
used only if a constraint positioning is used (no frame on frame positioning)
In case you have to create an articulation
configuration
in an in place assembly (all parts designed in the same file), parts have
to be included in a set using the Assembly
| Define assembly function
in order to allow you to select them.
