Ground and Root

Provides options to ground the selection, move the selection to the top of the browser, and to apply flush constraints to root the selection to the origin of the assembly.

  1. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Productivity panel Ground and Root
  2. Select one or more components.
  3. In the Ground and Root Components dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
    • Ground at origin: Moves, grounds, and aligns the selected component(s) to the origin of the assembly. The component(s) can be freely moved if you unground the component(s).
    • Create origin flush constraints: Applies flush constraints to root the component(s) to the origin of the assembly.
    • Reposition to the top of the browser: Repositions the selected component(s) to the top of the assembly browser.
  4. Click OK.

Any components that are constrained to the selected component maintain their constraints.

Note: If the selection has existing assembly constraints that prevent it from being moved to and aligned with the assembly origin, existing constraints become conflicted. Your assembly displays a red Recover indication. The selection is grounded and repositioned within the assembly browser node structure.
