Position Component By CSYS dialog box
| Component To Position | |
|---|---|
| Select Component | Lets you select a component or subassembly FEM within an assembly FEM to assign a coordinate system.Once assigned, you can use coordinate system to control the position and orientation of the component or subassembly FEM.Note: When you assign a positioning relationship between a component or subassembly FEM and a coordinate system, the position and orientation of the component or subassembly in the assembly are no longer controlled by existing CAD geometry, but by the coordinate system you assign. Upon assigning the coordinate system, a warning message appears to alert you of this change. |
| CSYS Reference | |
| CSYS Reference | Specifies the method for selecting a coordinate system.Select from LabelLets you select the label of an existing coordinate system.Select Existing CSYSLets you select an existing coordinate system from either the Simulation Navigator or graphics window.Create from ComponentLets you create and assign a new coordinate system based on the current position of the selected component or subassembly FEM.NoneNo coordinate system is selected. |
| Label | Available when CSYS Reference is set to Select from Label.Lets you select the label of a coordinate system. |
| Select Existing CSYS | Available when CSYS Reference is set to Select Existing CSYS.Lets you select a coordinate system from the Simulation Navigator or graphics window. |
| New CSYS Label | Available when CSYS Reference is set to Create from Component.Sets the label for the new coordinate system. |
