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 > > . 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.
