Moving Constrained Components Using the Compass
 |
This task consists in manipulating the assembly to check if the components react the way we want, i.e. according to the constraints we set in the previous task. | |
 |
1. | Select the red patch at the center of the compass and drag it onto CRIC_SCREW. For details about how to use the compass, please refer to CATIA- Infrastructure User's Guide Version 5. |
 |
As the compass is snapped to the component, you can manipulate the component. | |
|
 |
|
|
2. | Now, if
you press and hold down the Shift key, select v/z axis on the compass, then drag and drop the component up and down, you can see that three components are
moving. This is an example of what we can get: |
|
|
|
|
3. | Repeat the operation as many times as you wish. The assembly reacts correctly. CRIC_FRAME does not move because it is fixed. The other three components can move. |
| 4. | Release the left mouse button before releasing the Shift key. | |
| 5. | Drag the compass away from the selected object and drop it. | |
