To Set Motion Limits
1. Open an assembly.
2. Insert a new component, or select a component, right-click in the Model Tree or graphics window, and choose from the shortcut menu. The Component Placement tab opens.
3. Open the Placement tab.
4. Select an existing motion axis or define a new one. The Zero Position collectors activate and the Motion Settings options open in the properties area.
5. Select the Zero Position references.
6. Set a regeneration value if required.
7. Click the Maximum Limit check box and enter a number or drag the connection handle, right-click it, and choose Set Maximum Limit from the shortcut menu. The maximum should be greater than or equal to the regeneration value (when set). For a rotational axis, the maximum value is automatically 180.00 (in degrees).
8. Click the Minimum Limit check box and enter a number in the text box, or drag the connection handle, right-click it and choose Set Minimum Limit from the shortcut menu. The minimum should be less than or equal to the regeneration value (when set). For a rotational axis, the minimum value is automatically -180.00 (in degrees).
9. To disable a motion limit, clear a motion limit check box, or right-click the connection handle and choose Disable Maximum Limit or Disable Minimum Limit from the shortcut menu. The motion limit is ignored in dragging and mechanism operations.
 
* When a connection is flipped, the motion limits are also flipped.
