Edit a Handle Linkage

General

  • Rotation and transition are the properties of a handle linkage. The need to modify the transition is probably rare.
  • Handle linkages are created when pipe and electrical components are added.
  • You can define the precise rotation value as an angle.

Edit a Handle Linkage

  1. Select a pipe component from the model or the assembly tree.
  2. Select from the bottom frame of the assembly tree .
    • The program will highlight the parts connected to each other by handle linkages in the working window.
  3. Select the context-sensitive function Edit.
    • The program opens the dialog box Edit Constraint.

  4. Edit the handle linkage data.
    • You can rename the constraint.
    • Enter the transition value, if necessary.
    • Enter the rotation value.
      • Define the rotation using the right-hand rule. The thumb will point in the direction of the axis, and the fingers in the fist will determine the direction of positive rotation.
  5. Confirm the values by clicking OK.
