88 CATIA Assembly Tutorial Manipulation Video Lecture - Learning CATIA

the total 88th assembly in CATIA
in the previous tutorial we show you how
to use the constraint to make a precise
positioning for your parts and make your
assembly the constraints toolbox is from
somewhere here you can drag it all boxes
here if you don't see your constraint
and here you see your constraint toolbox
and we already used most of these
constraints now I'm going to show
another way to a simple your part with
the manipulation tool found in the move
tool box so from its name it's smooth
and give you the ability to move your
parts in different directions now let's
read the constraint we created before
delete and now we have this part without
constraints so let's make this part to
be orotate this part to be vertical and
also let's try to move these parts so
first let's activate the manipulation
feature and here you can see the
direction where you can move your parts
for example let's have X and choose the
spot and you are moving in X direction
you want to move my direction so you can
move in y direction and z direction so
it's quite easy to follow and if you
don't see the exact direction you can
look at the compass here you can see X
is let's direction and y direction and Z
in that direction so you know precisely
you are also
you can move in the plans level for
example you can move in the XY level you
can see the XY so you can move in x y
and y said you can move it and why I
said that exit and here you have the
move with the axis this is dragged along
any axis so if you choose this axis so
you will move with that axis and also
you have two accesses here and now let's
show you how to we need to rotate this
part we said to be vertical we can know
which direction need me rotate to it is
this edge or this direction which shown
here to be the X direction so we can
choose X and with it try Y so we are in
the y direction now we have it almost
vertical and now again we can move it in
the direction as we see here and y
direction until you get your placing so
you have an idea how you can use the
move
manipulation feature and it is not that
accurate as the constraints where you
can specify directions on surfaces this
angles no another thing I'm going to
show you here you can define an axis
outside the original axis x and y see
where you can rotate your part for
if I hope over this so I can define that
axis in the middle the middle cinder in
this block now you are able to or stay
that direction
so let's deactivate and my another axis
let's find this axis is just it and now
again
so now let's define this axis so you are
able to rotate around that axis
