Creating relations using drag and drop

Create a relation by dragging a slave component over a master component to display attachment points. When the required attachment is displayed, drop the slave component to create the relation.

For example:

  1. Select the component you want to be the slave component. Move the mouse over the component to display the plane and axis attachments, indicated by arrows.
    Note: To display point attachments, click the component again and move the mouse over the component to highlight point attachments.

    In this example, the top face is highlighted, and an arrow indicates a plane attachment:

  2. Click and drag the attachment towards the master component. The attachments on the master component are displayed:

  3. Release the slave attachment over the required attachment on the master component:

    In this example, a plane to plane relation is created between the slave and master component. The new relationship is added to the assembly tree.

    If you release the mouse away from the master component, no relationship is created, and the slave component returns to its original orientation.
