Place Constraint Reference - Transitional Tab

A transitional constraint specifies the intended relationship between (typically) a cylindrical part face and a contiguous set of faces on another part, such as a cam in a slot. A transitional constraint maintains contact between the faces as you slide the component along open degrees of freedom.

Access

Ribbon: Assemble tab Relationships panel Constrain , and then click the Transitional tab.

Pick Part First
