reset move

[Michel1978]

Hello,

In addition to (thread561-272195) how to use the move component function. I would like to know how to reset the moving actions you made. I thought the assembly constraints would be overruled just for the moment but apperently not. How can I reset the positiones?

If I've understood your question correctly then your asking how to temporarily move components but have them return to a pre-defined location.
If I've missunderstood your question then sorry, but maybe someone will find this useful.

Start off by constraining your assembly to your desired configuration.
Then just 'Suppress' the constraints that you don't want to apply to a part (go to Assembly Navigator -> Constraints and un-tick the green ticks).
Then you can move the part to somewhere else.
When you want the part to go back to your previously defined configuration, just 'Unsuppress' the part (ie put the green tick back in) and the part will fly back to where you originally constrained it.

As an asside ... if you are struggling to find the constraints that apply to one particular part then ...
Click on that part in the graphic window.
Go to the 'Assembly Navigator'.
Open the 'Dependencies' sub-section at the bottom.
Click on the Magnifying Glass icon (detailed view)
This will show you all the constraints connected to that part.

Hope this is helpful,
Jon

Ok, thank you very much.
I think I used move on an assembly which had already broken ass. constraints. That's what confused me but now I see how it is supposed to use. I hardly ever used move before.

I use NX6.
