Place the Support Plates

The last step in building the iCopy template is to place any components that are independent of the skeleton layout part. Support plates are placed and constrained in the assembly.

  1. Open Frame.iam.
  2. Place four occurrences of Plate1.ipt.
  3. Use one mate and two flush constraints to position each plate at the four lower corners of the frame as shown. Use the vertical frame parts with the mate constraint to position the plates. This procedure provides more consistent results because the horizontal frame changes when placing iCopy results.
  4. Turn off the visibility of Skeleton-frame:1.
  5. Save Frame.iam and all its dependents. Close the file.
