2-axis stress references

3D Design Assembly
1

Hi all

I'm starting to use constraint references, I find this feature super interesting and I'd like to extend it to several subsets that I use very regularly.

Many of these subassemblies use 2 fixing holes; but I can only define a constraint reference for one hole (I have to place my second constraint manually).

Is there a way to define a constraint reference combining the 2 coaxialities?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Thank you for your answer. I had already seen this tutorial, it is also what allowed me to familiarize myself with the constraints references.

I think I have understood the basic principle; What I would like to know now is if it is possible to set my set (see example) so that the 2 fixing screws are automatically lodged in 2 existing holes. Ideally, I would like to be able to choose the direction of the handle at insertion.

Thanks in advance!

Constraint references are used for only one constraint. To constrain with several references, you have to look at magnetic constraints (new in 2018)

Ok thanks, I'll look into that.

Thinking about it, another question came to me:

Is it possible to systematically constrain a part in relation to the original planes of the assembly (for example, the top plane of my handle must always be parallel to the horizontal plane)?
