For assemblies that participate in a positional representation, the Override Objects dialog box overrides suppression status or relationship value, grounding status, offset values, and flexibility status. Used to make in-process adjustments to positions of objects in the current positional representation. Items with overrides are indicated by bold text in the browser, with the override value in parentheses.
You cannot override values in the primary positional representation. The primary positional representation is the default state of the assembly, where all modeling tasks are performed
Tip: You can quickly override one or a few values without accessing the Override Objects dialog box. For example, right-click a relationship in the browser and select Modify (Override). Or, right-click a component name and select Grounded (Override) to change the grounding state.
- Access
- In the browser, double-click a positional representation to make it active. In the graphics window or browser, right-click an object that participates in a positional representation, and then select Override to open the Override Objects dialog box.
On each tab, objects that cannot be overridden are not available.
