Enfiel3D Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Greetings to all! I'm exploring the world of iMates, and recently I got a question. My assemblies are basically a lot of axisymmetric bodies inserted into the main body. Although it's not critical, I love to have all degrees of freedom eliminated to reduce clutter and everything. That means constraining all part bodies to the same origin plane on the main body, so that they no longer able to revolve. If I place iMate on that origin plane of the main body, the first part body consumes it, and it is no longer available for the bodies to come. The only way I have found around that is to have sort of a 'stock' of the similar iMates on that plane, so that it is enough for all parts I am going to insert. Is that really how it works? Or maybe I got something wrong? Cheers! Quote
jdits7 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Might want to look into using the UCS work feature tool. This sounds like what you might want to use. Quote
Enfiel3D Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 How exactly can I use it in my case? I'm not so good at UCS feature in Inventor. Quote
