Leverage patterns for repetitive tasks like fastener insertion or even core design components. Create mirror features that result in other-handed versions of parts or assemblies.
A sketch at the assembly level serves as a profile to cut through everything
Multiple parts are cut simultaneously
Check for interferences
Find where parts overlap early in the design process so issues can be addressed prior to manufacturing. Highlight overlapping volumes and wireframe all parts that don't overlap for fast analysis.
Once constrained, drag components around in the assembly to see how they will move in the real world. Test mechanism movements, range of motion, and more.
A nested design structure brings order and repeatability to the design process. Create smaller building blocks and combine them together into a finished product.
Control dimensions and other parameters across multiple parts from a single, global design file. Cascade changes instantly across many parts as the design updates.
