To mate to a grounded part
1 Turn on the DOF symbol for PLIERB.
Browser Right-click PLIERB_1 and choose DOF Symbol.
The DOF symbol is represented by a number within a circle, indicating that
it has no degrees of freedom. Because it is the first part created in the assem-
bly drawing, PLIERB becomes the grounded part. As you apply assembly con-
straints, the grounded part remains stationary. If you move the grounded
part, all parts constrained to it also move.
2 Mate the PLIERB and PLIERT parts, responding to the prompts.
Context Menu In the graphics area, right-click and choose 3D
Constraints ➤ Mate.
Select first set of geometry: Select the inside face of PLIERB (5)
First set = Axis, (arc)
Select first set or [Clear/fAce/Point/cYcle] <accEpt>: Enter a to highlight the face
First set = Plane
Enter an option [Clear/aXis/Point/Flip/cYcle] <accEpt>:
Enter y to cycle to the next face, or press
ENTER
3 Select the second set of geometry to complete the mate constraint.
Select second set of geometry: Select the inside face of PLIERT (6)
Second set = Axis, (arc)
Select second set or [Clear/fAce/Point/cYcle] <accEpt>:
Enter a to highlight the face
Second set = Plane
Enter an option [Clear/aXis/Point/Next/Flip/cYcle] <accEpt>:
Enter y to cycle to the inside face, or press
ENTER
Enter offset <0.0000>: Press ENTER
