Rotation of part in assembly

Rotation of part in assembly

Rotation of part in assembly

(OP)
I am attempting to simply rotate a part in an assembly.
Can I do this without using the compass? If not, how would I use the compass to rotate the part?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Rotation of part in assembly

Well, should you take some basic user training sessionwinky smile
Or stat Catia help and there Mechanical design / Assembly design...

Find icon panel named Moving components and use it's tools.

Or drag the compass (using the center of compass) onto part's surface and simpy rotate the compass using the edges of the compass planes.

RE: Rotation of part in assembly

Yes you can rotate without the compass, several features in several workbenches
-Assembly designer -> manipulation
-DMU navigator -> Translate & Rotate

And some more, but the easiest way is to use the compass, either you drop it on the part and drag the edges for rotation or translation or you double click on the compass after placing it on the part to get the window for more accurate change.

Effevtive way of communication...Thanks
