This section describes how you use the Assembly module's Constraint menu to apply positioning constraints to part and model instances in the assembly. The following topics are covered:

• “Using the Constraint menu,” Section 13.11.1

• “Constraining two instances with parallel planar faces,” Section 13.11.2

• “Constraining two instances with parallel planar faces separated by a specified distance,” Section 13.11.3

• “Constraining two instances with parallel edges,” Section 13.11.4

• “Constraining two instances with parallel edges separated by a specified distance,” Section 13.11.5

• “Constraining two instances with coaxial faces,” Section 13.11.6

• “Constraining two instances with coincident points,” Section 13.11.7

• “Constraining two instances with parallel coordinate systems,” Section 13.11.8
