Hello
I'm starting to use constraint references on parts to automatically position them at insertion. It works very well
On a nut, I created a constraint reference on an edge that allows you to automatically create coaxiality and coincidence.
I would like the constraints to completely lock the room.
Is there the possibility to set the stress reference in order to lock the rotation of the coaxiality?
Thank you in advance for your help
I think not, otherwise I'm also interested in the trick!
For the moment, the lockdown is done after the fact.
Hello @jdardaine,
I don't know if this can help you, but on the global assembly it is possible to right-click on the constraints and click on lock all.
All coaxial stresses in the assembly will then be rotatingly locked. A solution that is not directly automatic though!
I'm also interested if you find another solution for the rotating lock... 
It is still possible to create a new constraint reference for a plane/plane symmetry, but that would be going back 10 years 
Good evening
It's as simple as clicking on the constraint here:
V2020 Sp5.0
On the other hand, the option of does not seem to exist on constraint references. This is somewhat understandable because constraint references are geometric entities, not real constraints.
SW would have to change the behavior of the constraint references during insertion to be able to add the option
Thanks for the tip @d_payen , I didn't know that it worked to lock all the rotation by clicking on the folder:
It's the same for me.
On the other hand, this option may quickly put the strand because you greatly increase the number of constraints so the risk of having red at some point in your tree:
If a part is already totally constrained and you lock the rotation of its coaxiality constraint, logically the risk of it going into a lollipop increases sharply at the slightest modification of the part.
Do you have any practical feedback on the subject @d_payen ?
Hello
Setting constraint references provides the ability to lock rotation from SW2024 onwards:
But @froussel rightly:
As @d_payen says:
The advantage of this solution is that SW will lock the stress rotations only if the locking does not cause the assembly to be overstressed.
Hello
Thank you for this feedback. We are still in the 2023 version.
There is talk of changing the version. We'll hurry up and do it in this case.
I tried the option offered by @d_payen to lock all the coaxialities at once.
It doesn't generate red everywhere. Rotation lock is only applied if it does not cause overstress. The software manages it on its own.
It works very well.
For once, it's well thought out until the end...
