This task explains how to snap the
compass to a selected object, as an alternative to dragging and dropping
the compass onto the object. |
 |
Open the document
Manipulators.CATProduct. |
 |
-
Point to the compass and right-click to display the
contextual menu.
-
Select Snap automatically to selected object.
-
Select an object (either in the geometry area or in the
specification tree).
 |
In our example, we select the part named
"Manipulators2": |
The compass is snapped automatically only onto
non-constrained objects recognized by the compass. The compass
keeps its current alignment. |
|
 |
As long as Snap automatically to selected object remains
activated, the compass is snapped automatically. To deactivate the
command, right-click the compass then clear Snap automatically to
selected object.
|
|
Note that if a new axis system has been created, selecting it in the
geometry area or in the specification tree will make the compass
disappear. To make it re-appear, simply select any other element in the
geometry or in the tree.
