Redefine positioning

Menu access: Assembly | Redefine positioning

Description:

Allows you to position the component.

General philosophy:

  1. Select the component to position.

  2. Position the component by clicking the origin coordinate system then the destination coordinate system or use the intuitive constraint and magnetic positioning by clicking the origin face and the destination face:

Cone / Plane

Cone / Cone

Sphere / Cone

Cylinder / Cylinder

Cone / Cylinder

Sphere / Cylinder

Sphere / Plan

Sphere / Sphere

Edge / Edge

...

Specific point(s):

 You can solve particular case of positioning by using the following list:

 The REDEFINE CONSTRAINTS allows you to suppress all positioning constraints and redefine them if you want.

 For standards component of TopSolid library, you can use more options for positioning: key points, direction, angle of rotation...

 It is also possible to modify quickly the positioning of a component by using the icon and by using the POSITIONNING button.

The DELAY COMPONENT CREATION button allows to change the positioning mode in order to decrease the processing time indeed, in the case calculation is too long for a complex component, processing will be done every time you add a positioning constraint (intuitive and magnetic positioning).The other mode accessible through this button asks for all the constraints once for all and then calculates the component and its position. In this mode, the user-friendliness is poorer but processing time is optimum.
