You can fix a work point in 3D space in an assembly file. Changes to model geometry do not affect its position. All degrees of freedom are removed from the grounded work point .
- On the ribbon, click
3D Model tab
Work Features panel
Point
. - Click geometry to position the work point.
- Right-click the work point symbol in the browser, and then select Grounded.
The 3D Move/Rotate command is not available in an assembly.
Although still valid, the Point command has been enhanced in Inventor R2011 to now present the Inventor user with a convenient drop-down menu listing each of the possible combinations available for work point creation.
Each of these new options is described on the Quick Reference tab of this Help topic.
