This feature was new to Inventor 2010 and with the next release on the way, I wanted to get this one in our blog. User Coordinate Systems in Inventor. I have found many interesting ways to implement this for customers over the year. In a single part you can use this to locate a new 0X,0Y,0Z, or just locate a specific connection point. Then in the assembly this works great for constraining parts together based on that known point instead of using three or more assembly constraints. This can be done easily using the Constraint Set constraint in the assembly environment. It allows you to quickly put components together based on mating UCS axis, and planes in a few clicks.
This week is an extension from last weeks post working with the catalog database and adding parts and assemblies to it. You will find that the process is very similar to adding new part information but when working with assemblies you have a few more options to be aware of and also how to link the parts together that make up the entire assembly. The video will take you through the process. Remember if you have any questions about this post or any post or questions in general about working with AutoCAD Electrical you can post them at: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1798916&trk=hb_side_g
Have a great Holiday Weekend
