The Ground To Parent tool lets you define an inherent rigid relationship between a child component and its parent component so they move together in Fusion.

Learn how to use the Ground To Parent tool to ground a child component to its parent component so they move together in Fusion.

Model position (when Ground stock at model origin is deselected) Offset values can be positive or negative and are used to shift the raw stock relative to the selected reference position.

Ground To Parent and Pin These two tools can seem similar but they have several key differences.

Click the arrow next to Ground to open the Ground section if necessary.

Background Select Environment to use the environment image or Solid Color to select a color. Set the Ground effects. Ground Plane Displays a ground plane in the canvas.

Circuit without power, ground , and voltage in the Schematic design.

Fanout is especially useful for quickly connecting multiple components to ground . Device fanout traces a short distance from each pad of the device, then drops a via.

When asked if you want to convert any Ground (GND) parts to SPICE ground , click Yes.

Unlike the Joint command, since the As-Built Joint command doesn't reposition the components, either of the components you select can be grounded .

Note: This feature was recently renamed from Ground to Pin. Pin a component to the default component Expand the Browser.

Types of via stitching- Constant ground via stitching: This common type maintains a healthy return path and low resistance in the ground plane, ensuring shorter return paths from load devices to the power source.

Ground Shadow: Casts shadows of visible bodies onto the ground plane.

If necessary, Fusion relaxes existing relationships or grounded component status to allow the first component to move.

Click Move To Ground to rest the bottom of the mesh body on the ground plane of the active component.
