To Set Proximity Tolerance Allowances
To adjust the proximity sensitivity for the snap function when assembling components, follow one of the procedures below.
Using the Assembly Settings
1. Click File > > Assembly. The Set options for component referencing, component operations, and mechanism dialog box opens.
2. Set the following options under Component dragging settings.
Set distance tolerance for snap to occur—Sets the distance needed for a snap to occur. The default value is 0.100000 (units are a fraction of the screen size).
Set angle tolerance for snap to occur—Sets the minimum angle needed for a snap to occur. The default value is 30.000000 (units are degrees). The maximum value allowed is 90.000000
Using Configuration Options
Set the following configuration file options:
Set comp_snap_dist_tolerance [0 to 1]. The snap tolerance is based on a fraction of the camera view. This maintains a consistent snap distance based on camera zoom.
Set comp_snap_angle_tolerance to a value from 0 through 90. This sets the allowed angle between the normals of two planes or between two axes. The angle will be from 0 through 90°, allowing for an almost completely orthogonal snap.
