    hi

    is there a way how i easily can find a constrain between two elements of an assembly in a whole bunch of constrains?

    thx

    Find the first part.  Expand the
    browser.  Hover over the icon of each constraint.  It will list the
    other part to which it is constrained.

    yes this helps a bit but i still can not see enough.
    i want to move a subassembly but it is sticks (not grounded) and i have problems finding the responsible constrain)

    Expand the sub in the browser.  At the bottom
    of the tree there will be a list of all constraints between this sub and
    anything else.  Go through each of these.  (The internal constraints
    within the sub will be nested under each part in the sub)

    Are there adaptive components in the assembly? I think that will sometimes
    hinder dragging.

    Go for wire frame display, hover over constraint in
    browser to see first selection, click to see other. Sometimes
    helps.
