Mechanical stress groove

Hello forum,
Can we set the groove constraint to default to "centered in groove"?

Thank you in advance

Hello

Yes by default it is put in the middle, but in automatic I'm not sure.

Kind regards.

Hello @fifounet44 

In the 2020 version, the default option is centered if you use automatic positioning. There are several choices, centered, not centered, etc...

In the 2019 version and before, the part is positioned in the middle of the groove but  it is not constrained by default in the direction of the length in automatic.

If you want to center it automatically (without any other constraint on a plane or dimension)  you have to use ==> Mechanical constraint ==> Groove ==> (open constraints) and replace "Free" with "centered". You should be able to create a keyboard shortcut to open faster

Kind regards

In the 2018 version, it was not put in the middle by default but where it falls at the time of constraint.

We're in the 2019 version, we'll wait until 2020....
No other solution??

Hello

Yes I had forgotten this precision on the sw version. But hey, knowing it, you just have to tick.

"Centred"
