This task illustrates how to move a component and create a coincidence constraint between two axes. | |

Open the Moving_Components_01.CATProduct document. | |

|
The Quick Constraint frame contains the list of the constraints that can be set. This list displays these constraints in a hierarchical order and can be edited by using both arrows to right of the dialog box. |
|
|
|
The application creates the first possible constraint as specified in the list of constraints having priority. For more about this list, please refer to Quick Constraint. For automatic constraint creation, the only difference from behavior of Quick Constraint is that simple shapes like point, plane, line and axis system are only considered for this command. Although, the user can select the cylinder, cone and Sphere (using Other Selection from contextual menu), internally these are treated as the simple shapes. |

Instead of explicitly selecting both axes, you can select the axis of CRIC_BRANCH_1 and then drop it onto the blue inner cylinder face when your cursor points to this face. |
|
The application detects a possible constraint between the axes. As the option Create constraint is on, the application can set a coincidence constraint between both axes. |

The coincidence constraint is created. |
