About Engineering Connections Reordering when Modifying Assembly Structure

When you drag components in your assembly structure, engineering connections related to the moved components are automatically reordered.



Product_D has been moved under the Product_A.

The engineering connection between a geometrical element of Product_B and a geometrical element of Product_D has been relocated under the Product_A where all affected products are located.

Important:
  • This function is only available with positioning engineering connections, not with engineering connections of the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation app for example.
  • This function is not available with flexible products.
  • Engineering connection links are not reordered and their relations are broken when:
    • A product is moved out of the assembly context.
    • A product is moved whereas the engineering connection is not open in session.
    • There is a loss of specifications.
  • Composite engineering connections (Gear, Rack or Cable) cannot be reordered.
  • When an engineering connection changes from Regular to Contextual or Contextual to Regular, all affected products are switched into Edit mode.
