Basic Assembly 2

This Pro E Assembly tutorial begins to dive into the different types of Pro E Assembly constraints and how to properly align components within an assembly.

Component placement is the single most important process in creating a Pro E Assembly. A component placement is fully constrained only if three directions (ie. X, Y, and Z) are defined.

The first component placed, or created, in a Pro E Assembly environment is commonly considered the base component. When placing a base component or feature, you must either create three orthogonal datum planes as the first feature, assemble an existing component (i.e. Part, subassembly, or skeleton model), or create a base component while inside the Pro E Assembly environment.

This Pro E Assembly tutorial covers several constraint types to use when placing a component.
