    Heelo guys, can anyone help me with a little issue, I have an assembly which has components mated to a radial surface, I need to locate the center of a round slot against an axis, I have X Y coordinates, how can I constrain that part to those X Y coordinates? Thanks in advance!!.

     

    Attached is a picture of the assembly.

    Please use plain text.

    I would use Assembly Constraints instead.

    Pattern Workpoint (or other logical feature in the shaft part).

    Component Pattern in the assembly.

     

    Attach your assembly here if you can't figure it out.

    I think there is a similar example in this document

    If I understand your issue correctly, I have had more luck using this command when it comes to situations like yours.

    I prefer logic.


    The OP needs to clarify the problem statement through active discussion.
