set orientation from circuitworks.

Jack Tan Oct 21, 2013 2:48 AM

i convert a pcb assembly file from circuitworks.

Q1..i like to set the top face of pcb on top plane, so that in isomatric view, it will explod upward.

Q2.. after i insert B component in assembly file. mate B to A. i expect A to be fix, B is moving., some time, it is other way round.

i have to delete B and insert again. it works. i con not figure out where is wrong. why in first time, A become moving component.

Thankyou.

Q1 - Try to do this.....Set the view normal to the top. hit the space bar, single-click front and the hit the update standard views button as shown below. This will change the views to what you want instead of what they come in as.

Q2 - When you insert the pcb in to the assembly as the first part it should be locked in place. not sure what is happening.

Hope this helps!!
