Constraints

This page deals with the options concerning:

Paste components

Defines the paste component behavior options:

Without the assembly constraints: pastes one or several components without the assembly constraints applying to them.
With the assembly constraints only after a Copy: pastes one or several components with the assembly constraints applying to them, only after the Copy command.
With the assembly constraints only after a Cut: pastes one or several components with the assembly constraints applying to them, only after the Cut command.
Always with the assembly constraints: pastes one or several components always with the assembly constraints applying to them.

By default, the Without the assembly constraints option is selected.

Constraints creation

Defines the constraint creation options:

Use any geometry: allows you to select any geometrical element.
Use published geometry of child components only: allows you to select any published element belonging to child components.
For more information about publication, refer to Managing a Product Publication in the Assembly Design documentation.
Use published geometry of any level: allows you to select any published element.

By default, the Use any geometry option is selected.

Quick Constraint

The Quick Constraint command is based on a ordered list of constraints to be created by the application. The setting available here lets you reorder the list of constraints having priority when applying the Quick Constraint command to the selected geometrical elements. What you need to do is select the constraint type you wish to reorder and click the arrows to the right of the selection to reorder the selected constraint.

By default, the ordered list is the following:

Surface contact.
Coincidence.
Offset.
Angle.
Parallelism.
Perpendicularity.

Creation verified constraints first

Defines whether you want to create verified constraints with the Quick Constraint command.

By default, this option is not selected.
