Placement Suite

The Placement Suite provides robust tools for positioning, rotating, flipping, constraining, and grounding components within Inventor assemblies. It enables users to precisely control component orientation, apply constraints to origins or other components, and manage grounding states for individual or multiple parts. These commands streamline assembly setup, improve spatial organization, and support efficient design workflows for complex assemblies.

Rotate Component

Overview

Rotate a selected component within the assembly.

Details

Allows precise rotation of a component to achieve the desired orientation. Use this for alignment, fit, or design adjustments.

Flip Component

Overview

Flip a selected component along a specified axis.

Details

Mirrors the component to the opposite orientation, supporting symmetrical designs and corrections.

Rotate Joint

Overview

Rotate a joint within the assembly.

Details

Adjusts the orientation of a joint, enabling flexible movement and alignment of connected components.

Flip Joint

Overview

Flip a joint to reverse its direction.

Details

Changes the direction of a joint, supporting alternative assembly configurations and troubleshooting.

Constrain To Origin

Overview

Apply constraints to position a component at the assembly origin.

Details

Locks the selected component to the origin, ensuring precise placement and alignment for foundational parts.

Constrain To Origin Move

Overview

Move and constrain a component to the assembly origin.

Details

Moves the component to the origin and applies constraints, streamlining setup for base components.

Constrain To Origin Align

Overview

Align and constrain a component to the assembly origin.

Details

Aligns the component with the origin and applies constraints for accurate positioning.

Constrain To Component

Overview

Apply constraints to position a component relative to another component.

Details

Locks the selected component to another, supporting complex relationships and assembly logic.

Constrain To Component Move

Overview

Move and constrain a component relative to another component.

Details

Moves the component and applies constraints to another part, facilitating dynamic assembly arrangements.

Constrain To Component Align

Overview

Align and constrain a component relative to another component.

Details

Aligns the component with another and applies constraints for precise placement.

Constrain Delete

Overview

Delete constraints from selected components.

Details

Removes all applied constraints, allowing free movement and repositioning of components.

Ground On

Overview

Ground a selected component in the assembly.

Details

Fixes the component in place, preventing movement and ensuring stability.

Ground On All

Overview

Ground all components in the assembly.

Details

Applies grounding to every component, locking the entire assembly for review or export.

Ground Off

Overview

Remove grounding from a selected component.

Details

Allows the component to move freely, supporting design changes and adjustments.

Ground Off All

Overview

Remove grounding from all components in the assembly.

Details

Unlocks all components, enabling full assembly manipulation and editing.

Ground Color

Overview

Apply a color to grounded components for visual identification.

Details

Highlights grounded parts, making it easy to distinguish fixed components in the assembly.
