NOTE Creating components in place, using faces of adjacent components as
sketch planes, and projecting geometry from other component faces for use in
sketches reduces the chance of interference between parts.
Workflow overview: Analyze interference between parts
1 Activate the assembly that you want to analyze. Interference analysis is
only available in the assembly environment.
2 Click Tools ➤ Analyze Interference.
3 Select the two sets of components to be analyzed.
4 Click OK. The Interference Detected dialog box is displayed.
5 Expand the dialog box to see a detailed analysis report in table form. The
report table can be copied to the clipboard or printed.
Checking for Degrees of Freedom
Each unconstrained component in an assembly has six degrees of freedom
(DOF). It can move along or rotate about each of the X, Y, and Z axes. The
