Add Handle Linkage Constraint

A handle linkage is a geometric constraint. The handle linkage is created in the following cases.

1. On the tab, in the Constaints group, select Add handle linkage constraint.
2. Define handle linkage between two handles. In adding pipeline, pipe and to the joint of a pipe and a pipe component. The handle linkage is displayed as follows in the bottom frame of the assembly tree.

• You can display the parts connected to the constraint in the working window by clicking the constraint.

• During the adding of a pipe component, in the joint of a pipe and a pipe component.
• If you click a point of a pipe or a pipe component from the surrounding assembly geometry, an external reference is created. Handle linkages are highlighted in blue in the bottom frame of the assembly tree.

  

• Add handle linkage between pipe, pipe part and component.
  1. Select the context-sensitive function Constraints> Handle Linkage.
  2. Select Part 1.
  3. Select handle from Part 1.
  4. Select Part 2.
  5. Select handle from Part 2.
