Positioning Components
in an Assembly
Once a component is in an assembly, you can move it, rotate it, or fix
its location. This is useful for rough placement of the components in
the assembly. You can then position the components precisely using mating
relationships.
As you add mating relationships, you can move the components within
the unconstrained degrees of freedom, visualizing the mechanism’s behavior.
You can position a component in any of the following ways:
