Define position

See also : See position

Menu access : Assembly | Positions | Define position

Description :

Allows you to define several positions of an assembly.

General philosophy :

1. Select the assembly on which you want define positions.

2. Choose the position (current assembly position or from a kinematics scenario).

3. Define the position.

Available option(s) :

The  NEW ALTERNATIVE SET  button allows you to create a new alternative set and to use it to define a position.

The  CURRENT ASSEMBLY POSITION  allows you to use the current position as new position. The  MOVE  button allows you to move elements before to define the current position.

The  KINEMATIC SCENARIO  button allows you to use the moment of an existing scenario as new position.

Specific point(s) :

Positions are grouped into the positions set. You can edit it in the construction tree. For that, open the construction tree, choose Edit in the contextual menu and select "SET POSITIONS" (it will not be available if no positions have been defined).

These positions can be used into a TopSolid'Draft document .

If you modify the position of an element using a parameter, you will not able to define it as a position.
