Constrain components in the iCopy template

iCopy uses a combination of adaptivity and skeleton modeling to control the size and position of components. This combination requires constraining the components using the following method.

  1. Place the layout part
  2. If it is the first part in the assembly, no further constraining is needed. Otherwise, constrain the XY plane of the layout part to the XY plane of the assembly.
  3. Repeat for the YZ planes and the XZ planes.
  4. Create and place the derived components.
  5. Constrain the XY plane of each derived component to the XY plane of the layout part.
  6. Repeat for the YZ planes and the XZ planes.
  7. Create and place any parts that are not derived from the layout part.
  8. Constrain these parts to other parts in the assembly.
