- [Instructor] So now I have my assembly file.
I brought in all of my components
and you can see here's my valve ASM.
These are all of the components I brought in.
There's my housing, which is fixed.
As I brought in the housing
because it was the first component,
the system asked me to fix it
so it applied a constraint.
Here I want to talk about moving the components around.
Sometimes it's easier to move a component around,
get it close to where it needs to be,
and then apply the constraints.
For example, this cover.
This cover is sitting somewhere in the middle of the part.
If I want to move this,
I just come over here and hit move component.
It's going to ask me components to move.
What do I want to move?
I want to move this
and then I specify how do I want to move it.
Specify my orientation, just click down here.
Now this, with Dynamic, just simply allows me
to move this around.
I can take this, grab it, move it,
and just kind of get it close to where it needs to be.
As you can see,
much easier to constrain from that location.
If I want to move another component
because I have a few more out in space
that I do want to get close,
I can just go over here to select component.
I am going to select my arm
and I will select my stem
and then I'm going to hold the shift key down
and deselect that cover.
Then I need to go back down to specify orientation
and now I can just move these over and up.
All I'm doing is I'm grabbing the yellow arrow
or, in this case, I'll show you here in a moment,
the little yellow ball here
also allows me to rotate.
For this arm, I'm going to go back up to components.
I'm going to shift deselect the stem.
Go back down to specify orientation.
By grabbing one of these,
I can now just rotate.
If you want to move it at a specific increment,
you go in and specify
just by clicking on that.
You can specify a snap increment as well.
The same thing for length.
If you want to snap distance,
you want it to move every, let's say, five millimeters,
you just type in five millimeters
and every time the handle moves
then it'll snap to every five millimeters.
If you want to move the actual handles
without moving any other parts,
you can just say move handle only here.
This is nice if you're working on a very large part.
You just want to take this
and move it to a different part of the assembly,
get it to where you want to, oriented,
and then now when it's in the position
that I want, I can say just move handles only.
Turn that off and now I'm free to move
the component that I have selected.
You can also come in and copy components.
What this does is every time I move
a component, drag it and release,
it'll make a copy of the component.
This is nice if you have a lot of fasteners
or that type of thing
to basically move, move, move, move
and it'll copy, copy, copy, copy.
Nice and quick for you.
Once I'm done moving,
once I get the components right to where I want,
all I need to do is simply select okay
and now those components have been moved into position.
