Add Angle Constraint in an Assembly
Define the angle between two parts. Select from the both parts faces or lines to define the constraint.
- On the tab, in the Constraints group, select Add angle constraint.
- Click the first part.
- Select the appropriate face or line on the first part.
- Click the second part.
- Select the appropriate face or line on the second part.
- Do either of the following:
- Select part for rotation axis, and then select the rotation axis.
- Pass the pointing of rotation axis by selecting Confirm.
- Change the value of the angle in the dialog box either of the following:
- If you have defined a rotation axis for the Angle constraint, you can use the Flip button to edit the content X of the Value field to value 360-X. In this way, the information that the constraint has been flipped is set on the background.
- Change the value of the angle in Value field.
- Select OK.
Change the side of an angle constraint
If a rotation axis is defined for the Angle constraint, you can change its side.
- Select the Angle constraint in the lower frame of the assembly tree.
- Select Change side.
Note:
- You can define the Angle constraint as configuration-specific and set limit values for the dimension constraint. It is possible to specify limit values only, if the constraint involves an axis of rotation. Select a constraint and select the Properties function.
- You can use this function in the way off you select two parts first, and then select the function Angle. Select the second part Ctrl+right mouse button.
- Zoom the part view by the Z key to select an element. Zoom all by pressing the A key.
- Move a part by moving the cursor onto a part, then moving the mouse while holding down the left mouse button.
