Example: Constraint Types Resulting from Snapping
Component Reference
Assembly Reference
Resultant Constraint Type
An axis, a straight edge, or a straight line perpendicular to the dragging direction
An axis, a straight edge, or a straight line perpendicular to the dragging direction and parallel to the component reference
Coincident constraint if the component reference and the assembly reference are collinear
Distance constraint if the component reference and the assembly reference are not collinear
A point or a vertex
An axis, straight edge, or a straight line perpendicular to the dragging direction
Coincident constraint if the assembly reference intersects the component reference
Distance constraint if the assembly reference does not intersect the component reference
A point or a vertex
