Drag component while editing contsraint

Drag component while editing contsraint

Drag component while editing contsraint

(OP)
Hi,
Is it possible to drag the component while editing the constraint in assembly design mode. For example, when I am editing surface constraint, I want to reconnect the other surface. But, that surface is not available and it is hiding under other component. To select that face, I need to come out from the edit constraint and drag the component outside and again I need to go inside edit constraint and select the face. If I able to drag the component while inside the edit constraint mode, it will be very useful and time saving. Wherever possible, I am using ALT +LEFT MOUSE button for selection filter. So, beyond that, kindly give any other idea.

Hi,

You can try pressing down arrows while applying constraints and also u can use smart move where u can preselect the parts and apply a permanent constraint bw the parts.Hope it helps.

Hi Sudhakearan,
I came to know the smart move feature from help manual. I have understood that we can use it for freshly creating the constraints. is it possible to use it for editing the already created constraints.

Hi,
i have already mentioned to use the down arrows after picking one of the faces to highlight the hidden faces.
