2.6.1.3. "On surface "

[Note]Note

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 method On surface is suitable for bolts, for example.

Initial situation:

The buttons below for the confirmation of the placement are still inactive. By clicking on you can cancel the placement action.

  1. Click on the button On surface .

    -> The 3D view in the placement dialog shows the possible connection points now. Should there be several possible connection points, respective information is given in the placement dialog.

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

    Example: Determine insertion point on planar face

    Example: Determine insertion point on planar face

  2. Select point on surface.

    [Note]Note

    Possibly CAD dialogs are displayed in addition, whereby the placement dialog becomes inactive.

  3. Click on Place once or Place multiple .

    -> The bolt is placed.

    [Note]Note

    Possibly the insertion is effected by interaction with another dialog and then can be dropped here.

  4. Optionally perform other placements or close placement dialog

    Place multiple (dialog is left open)
    Place once (dialog is closed)
    Close dialog (without placement)
