Place adaptive component in assembly

Start with a part or subassembly with features that are set to adaptive.

  1. Click Assemble tab Component panel Place .
  2. Browse to the folder that contains the component, select it, and then click Open.
  3. The selected component attaches to the cursor. Select the location, and then click to place an occurrence of the component.
  4. Right-click, and then click Done.
  5. Right-click again, and then click Adaptive.
  6. To add assembly constraints, click a Constraint command. Position the component relative to other fixed assembly components.

    7. As you remove degrees of freedom, the underconstrained features of the adaptive part or subassembly resize to satisfy assembly constraints.
