Quick Tip - UCS to UCS constraint

[@ShatterSide]

For anyone else watching, and perhaps unsure, the wrong point for the Y direction for the UCS on the jaw was chosen. Since the jaw has a chamfer, the corner chosen is actually lower, thereby creating a slight angle by rotating the UCS about the X-axis. You can see the difference when you slide the moving jaw under the part. A correct point to choose could have been the immediately adjacent corner in the similar direction. Sorry for being obnoxious perhaps, since the message in the video is 100% valid, but small things like this can cause countless headaches down the line.

And how do i use that to get the part between the jaws?

[@honorbrandao4031]

Filiph, that is not a correct statement. You can always use the parameter dialog box to modify the UCS after placing it. The workflow is to create a reference point that is related to the round object using either a 2D or 3D sketch, then placing a new UCS located at the reference point created in step 1, then go to the parameters dialog box and translate and rotate the UCS as needed. This allows you full control of the 6 degrees of freedom of the UCS. Hope this helps.

THIS is not possible if you have round objekts. impossible to change axis then.

Why is this music so hard that I can't understand what is said????

Inventor sucks. Solidworks is absolutely better

Hi Nico, Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and commenting. I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way about Inventor. If you ever have to re-evaluate CAD software, I hope you will give us another chance. Our development team has worked hard on many aspects of the software. Best, Lars
