does what you're saying. I'm not sure I like it though. Most of my constraints
end up being zero and using your approach (ProE's approach) I have to hit the
0 key for every constraint I want to be zero. In ProE I do find it useful from
time to time but I don't like it set up that way as the default. Maybe the
iTeam could add a button or something that would copy the current value into
the value field.
My $.02 worth.

darn it why couldn't I have seen that? I use Measure all the time in part
modeling but I guess it just never caught my eye or my imagination while
constraining an assy.
Oh well <smack head>, the learning continues. Thanks Sean for
supplying the obvious answer I've been too blind to

but I still say that I'd rather the default stay at zero. I rarely do a
"constraint to default posititon" so the measure tool will do for me. Don't
mean to sound self absorbed or anything. I'm open to having an additional
optoin in there I just don't want it to become the
default.

I agree with Mech. If it were the way you
wanted it, there would be a lot more typing involved. Most times a mate
is at 0 offset.

I agree with you both. Feels good. But having the
option to set a part at it's "Current Position" is also a valid suggestion
worthy of more than glossing over or presenting a united front. Gimme an I . .

How about just another choice in the combo box
for the value.
The combo box is already programmed in. And
"Measure value" is already there.
Now you'd have to just add "Current value
face="Times New Roman" size=3>" to the combo box.

of my constrants that will not work. donot work becouse of some offset error.
3/16" will not match .187" .0005 offset and every one is happy. I know that
this will not work all the time but when it does it would be
nice.
