In real life we cannot handle axes and so cylindrical faces are used to represent the linked axes. Used in kinematic context this constraint resembles a cylindrical joint.

straight edges, which become collinear, - planar faces, which are aligned using their surface normal axis, - cylindrical faces, which are aligned using the axial direction.ĭifferent types of geometry elements can be mixed. This is leaving 2 degrees of freedom (DOFs) for each link unconstrained. The Label2property will also appear in the tree view in the Descriptioncolumn, and serves there as a secondary node identification and/or comment. Related to the first object the following objects can still move along and spin around the z-axis. Set the Label2property to 'Washer 8.3 x 16 x 2'. My aim by this collaboration is both completing the HOWTO more efficiently and learning Asm3 much deeper by teaching. The offset of their origins on their common z-axis and the angle between their x-axes (and y-axes as well) are not defined. I've been preparing a cheatsheet-like mini tutorials/HOWTO's primarily for myself and my future colleagues: ceremcem/freecad-notes Now I think I can assist some people while getting up and running with Assembl圓 WB.

The selected elements of each object or more precisely their implicit coordinate systems (ICS) are used to position one object to another.Īssuming the first object is already locked in place by the Lock constraint then the following objects are moved to positions where the z-axes are collinear.

This tool builds a link between two or more objects of an assembly and matches their orientation.
