Allows to define a set of entities or subentities as a rigid body.
Accessing the Command
command bar: dmrigidset3d
menu bar: Parametric | 3D Constraints | Rigid Set
toolbar: 3D Constraints | Rigid Set
ribbon:
- Solid | 3D Constraints | Rigid Set
- Surface | 3D Constraints | Rigid Set
- Assembley | 3D Constraints | Rigid Set
Quad cursor menu: Constraints | Rigid Set
: dmrigidset3d
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select edges, faces, 3D entities or [WOrld/BLock]: (Select entities or subentities or choose an option.)
Entities in set: 1
Select edges, faces, 3D entities or [WOrld/BLock]: (Select more entities or subentities or choose an option, or press Enter.)
Press the TAB key to select obscured geometry.
All members of a rigid set are moved (DmMove command) and rotated (DmRotate command) together, while their relative positions within the rigid set are preserved.

World |
Allows you to select the WCS subentity as an argument; prompts you: Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |

Block |
Allows you to choose as an argument the subentity of the coordinate system of the block; prompts you: Select block reference - (Select a block reference of which the reference coordinate system will be used as an argument.) Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |
