Apply the Constraints

  1. The square back face of the bracket is fixed. Use the View Cube to orient the part so that you have a clear view of the back face. Right-click on Constraints under Subcase 1 and select New.

    All the entities that you will be creating will also appear in Model Entity list. This list will expand as the modeling progresses. The Model Entity list provides a means of easily applying entities to other subcases as well.

  2. When the Constraint dialog appears, select the back face.
  3. Type Fixed Back Face for the Name of the constraint.
    Note: In the Display Options section of the Constraint dialog, you can adjust the size, number, and color of the constraint symbols that appear in the part display.
  4. Be sure that Subcase 1 is selected in the Subcases list, and then click OK. This will automatically add the constraint to Subcase 1.
