Practice exercise

00:02

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:06

to get started. Let's open the supply data set linear

00:08

bearing dot F 3D.

00:10

This design contains two components. We've got the slide and the linear bearing.

00:15

Notice the small red pin icon next to the slide component,

00:18

meaning it's fixed in space.

00:20

The linear bearing however, is free to move.

00:22

If we grab it and pull it, you can see that it's able to be moved around.

00:26

We're going to select revert position and then from our assemble menu,

00:29

select as built joint

00:31

from the ASB

00:32

joint. We first want to pick our type.

00:34

In this case, we're going to be using a slider joint.

00:37

Then we want to pick our components

00:39

first, we'll pick the rail, then we'll pick the slider.

00:43

Next, we need to pick the snap position.

00:45

If we hover over a linear edge,

00:47

we can snap to the middle position and notice

00:50

that it's animating the first component we selected.

00:53

This is OK because once we complete the as built joint,

00:56

it will respect all other relationships in the design.

00:60

We also want to take a look at adding a minimum and maximum value.

01:04

Currently, it's listed as zero because this is our current position.

01:08

If we manually drag these, notice that we're going to a positive value,

01:13

we're gonna move this until 210 millimeters

01:16

which will go all the way to the end and we'll select, OK.

01:20

Now, we should be able to move this all the way to the end

01:23

using those edit limits as its full extent.

01:27

Anytime we move a component,

01:29

we will have to either capture its position or revert its position.

01:32

The joints are now listed in a joint folder as slider one and we can

01:36

right click and edit the joint limits if we need to make any adjustments.

01:40

For example, the minimum value, we may want to use a minus 10 millimeters

01:44

we can hit enter

01:46

and now it's a allowed to slide to the left a

01:47

little bit and then all the way to the right,

01:49

an additional 210 millimeters

01:52

from here. Let's make sure that we save the design before moving on.
