How to constraint to get exact dimension

[CAnnondale]

Hi Guys,

 

Good day to all. I do have another query and needs opinions.

 

I do have an assembly of a flexible jacket and will install a bracket to serve as a holder for bandings. From the edge the distance on the upper bracket is 200mm and on the bottom bracket is 100mm from the edge.

 

Now, how do I do this? in order to get the exact dimensions given.

 

I did try to constraint using Tangent but, i am stuck up to that point.

 

Any help/assistance will be much appreciated.

lemme guest! first edit the .ipt flex jacket. create angular planes which fall under the same dimension given then draw a point on top of it. 2nd go back to the assembly and constrain the bracket with point created using bracket' origin plane. hope this will help....wild guess!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Abigail,

Thanks for the heads-up i'll try this when i reach office.

Hi abigail,

 

I just tried what you have mentioned and yes, thanks a lot, appreciate it.

 

Here is the step I did;

 

1. On the sub-assembly itself, I did create an angular and XY plane offset 100mm

2. Insert the bracket assembly and applied constraint on it.
