Working in the Context of an Assembly
Implications and strategies for designing in this
manner are discussed in this lesson.
When a new part is created in an assembly,
the new part features and sketches can be
designed in context.
This means that existing components can be
used to define the new part.
Working in the Context of an Assembly
Student Guide: Lesson 9- Working in the Context of an Assembly
For example:
==> Sketches can be supported by the planar face of a neighboring
component.
==> Sketch constraints can be defined using elements in other
components.
==> 3D elements from other components can be projected onto and
intersected with the sketch support.
==> Features can be limited up to other components.
Assemblies are often created using a combination of components that are created
separately from the assembly and components created within the context of an
assembly.
It can be difficult to understand references when designing in context. For this reason, it
is often considered a more advanced method of creating a component.
