Review techniques for selecting and editing objects.
Change the view in the modeling window using the mouse or view controls.
Translate, rotate, and align parts and other objects using the Move tool and snaps.
The Systems tool is useful for aligning loads to a local coordinate system rather than the global coordinate system. Keep in mind that results are only shown in the global coordinate system.
Record a video or take a snapshot of the screen.
Change the default unit system, create custom units, and measure geometry features.
A part is a geometric object made up of any combination of solids, surfaces, and curves. It can also be a mesh.
Create an assembly and add parts to it in the Model Browser.
Select List View to view the Model Browser as a list view with groups of assemblies and parts.
