CATIA V5 ASSEMBLY DESIGN CONSTRAINS
- Thread starter amadali
- Start date
There are a few tools in the Analyze menu to help better understand how the assembly is constrained.
I know some users prefer to Fix parts (after they are moved into position) instead of using constraints. They don't have constraint errors, but they have to manually reposition the parts if changes are made.

This was standard procedure in some companies due to the huge number of the parts in assemblies. Imagine when you have an airplane section and the software installed on your workstation has to check, eventually update (depending on settings) the links created by constraints....
v5? 3DX? In both of them, you have a dedicated command to analyze this issue. If you don't like it, create your own macro.
