Procedure - Planar Features
To create these moves, select object and target features that represent the desired combination. The contact constraint can be created for a variety of model applications, but the basic procedure is as follows.
1. Feature Tab:
Click in the Object Features box and select one or two features from the part(s) to be moved.
Click in the Target Features box and select one or two corresponding feature(s) of the target part(s).
An example is shown below, where the two planar surfaces will be moved together so that they touch.
2. Move Parts Tab:
Parts should automatically be added to Move Parts based on the Tree structure of the model. Verify that these are the desired parts. Only two parts can be added to this list. The first part corresponds to the Object features and the second part corresponds to the Target features.
