When you instantiate a flexible component, its re-positionable components can be moved or constrained independently from the same re-positionable components in another instance of the flexible component. When a flexible component containing engineering connections is instantiated, or when you create engineering connections with a re-positionable component in an instantiated flexible component:
When a flexible component is instantiated several time and constrained, you can set different positions for each flexible component instances. To do this, the constraint values between the re-positionable components can be overloaded independently. Overloadable ConstraintsThe constraints below can be overloaded. To do this you need to double-click a constraint under the Engineering Connection Overloaded node that belongs to the Engineering Connections node of active product.
Example 1Setting a product with an engineering connection as flexible. A the beginning, ASD_Product_A contains an engineering connection between
ASD_Product_B and ASD_Product_C:
Planar.1(ASD_Product_C.1 > ASD_Product_B.1) In the example above ASD_Product_B is set as re-positionable in ASD_Product_A:
Example 2Creating an engineering connection between a product and a re-positionable product in a
flexible product. In the example above:
