Assembly

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm used to Solidworks and now I'm using AutoCAD. I can't seem to figure out how to assemble the parts i created together. In Solidworks I would just specify the constraints. Do I have to move it manually in AutoCAD ? or is there a function or a software that will let me do the assembly more easily ?

 

Thanks in advance

You'll need to get very well aquinted with the UCS of autoCAD first, rotation of the crosshairs, and where to actually snap your objects in place. but from I can tell, youll need to locate the center of the hole and center of the shaft, align and snap those together :)

 

by the way, youll need to activate "center" in your ONSNAP settings

you can type in CEN as well which will constrain your snap to the center point. after clicking once it will revert back to the osnap settings you have active.
