Constaints

(OP)
Whats the best way to constrain two parts together in a product.

RE: Constaints

I publicate the items I want users to constrain. If I replace a  part with a similar item the contraints will reconnect automatically.  There are too many factors to give you to perfect constraint methodology.

RE: Constaints

(OP)
So I should try to publicate them to constrain them?

RE: Constaints

That will help keep things consistent. I find myself using coincidence constraints with axis to axis, axis to points, planes to planes, planes to points.  I use a fixed constraint on the seed parts.

Regards,
Derek
