problem when using parametrics to change the position of a component

[damien.huvelle]

Hello, 

I'm having some troubles with one  of my projects. I try to make a parametric cabinet in which I would like to have shelves that have parametric positions. everything goes right until now because when I'm using "move" to set the position in parametric it's ok to set the first position but if I want to change it in the parametrics it doesn't move ...

even using offset planes doesn't help. It looks like parametric and the move command doesn't speak to each other.

thank you for your help.

There are a variety of ways to do this, I choose to use a parametric Rigid Joint offset.  Take a look at the Screencast.  Your model was in unjoined pieces so I used a Rigid Group to put the basic cabinet together and then grounded it.  I worked off of the middle point on the bookcase side for convenience to me, you can use any point you desire. Model is attached.

thank you for your solution, 

works fine ! It is still new for me to use "joints" in fusion I'm not using taht as much as I could, maybe should I learn a bit more about it. It look it is a more appropriat way to assemble pieces.
