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.
