How to use the Swap Location Command
In this tech blog, we’ll explore how to use the Swap Location command in 3DExperience CATIA—a valuable tool for managing constraints in your 3D models. This command allows you to efficiently change the position of driving distance or driving curvilinear distance constraints, streamlining your design process and enhancing accuracy. Follow along as we provide a step-by-step guide and practical tips to help you make the most of this feature and improve your modeling workflow.
Step 1:
- In the example below the sketch is constrained to the vertical axis.
Step 2:
- Select a driving constraint and when the Shortcut Toolbar appears, select Swap Location command, as shown in the image below.
- The Swap Location command changes the position of the constraint elements.
Step 3:
- Notice in the image below, the constraint has been re-positioned to the other side of the vertical axis.
Conclusion
By mastering the Swap Location command in 3DExperience CATIA, you can streamline constraint management and enhance your model’s precision.
