Placing Components

You can place products using interfaces without creating engineering connections.

Before you begin: Create or open an assembly product.

Depending on the chosen visualization mode of the hooking points, the steps may be slightly different, see Showing/Hiding Hooking Points. In the steps below, the Show All Hooking Points visualization mode is chosen, as an example of how to place components.

  1. From the Assembly section of the action bar, click Interface-based Connection .

    The Options dialog box appears.

    Two hooking points are automatically generated when the Interface-based Connection command is active.
  2. Select a standard hooking point (axis system) to place.
  3. Select a target geometry in another component.
  4. Click the target geometry again to validate the position.
    The component is moved at the selected location. The Robot is placed onto the axis system.
  5. Optional: To refine positioning, use the Robot.

    The Robot makes rulers available to help you to be more accurate.

  6. Click anywhere outside of the geometry in the 3D area.
