When moving assemblies (using the compass
along with the Shift key or the Manipulate command, see
Manipulating Components), components may
sometimes clash. This task shows you how to view the minimum distance between these components to avoid a clash. |

The accuracy of clash detection directly
depends on the one used for tessellation (SAG) on objects. This is set in
the Performances tab of Tools > Options > General >
Display. By default, this value is set to 0.2 mm. For more details, refer to About Interference Checking & Analysis in DMU Space Analysis documentation. |
