Making components rigid

 

The Rigid tool locks the orientation and position of two components to each other.

See the printable Assembly constraints reference chart for descriptions of all assembly constraints.

 

The Rigid tool is enabled when you select appropriate objects that belong to different components.

To define a rigid condition

  1. Hold Ctrl and select an edge or face of the two components that you want to remain stationary with each other.

    You can also select two components in the Structure treeClosed.

  2. Click Rigid in the AssemblyClosed group on the DesignClosed tab.

    The constraint is added to both components in the Structure Tree.
