Placement of a part on a planar face.

The placement is performed orthogonal on the touched point of the planar face. All required placement constraints are automatically created.

The On surface method method is suitable for screws, for example.

    -> The 3D view in the placement dialog now shows the possible connection points. (If several connection points are possible, corresponding information is displayed in the placement dialog)

    -> In the placement dialog on the Graphics tab page, you will find 3D images of the component or technical views (if available).

    Example: Determine insertion point on surface
