Hello,
I am new to FC and I was trying to build an assembly from some parts I made however all of the constrain tools in A2plus are greyed out. I am sure there is a simple fix here but I cannot seem to figure it out.
Any help is appreciated
Thank you

Just mark 2 elements (points, lines, edges, planes, circle) you wish to constrain and the suitable constrains will no longer greyed out.

Re: A2plus constrain tools greyed out
I see
Using the Ctrl button allows multiple feature selection and the constraints are now available.
I was a bit lost since they were all selectable in the tutorials I looked through but it didn't match my system

Re: A2plus constrain tools greyed out
I think most tutorials were made for old assembly 2 workbench.
As far as I remember, there were all constrain buttons active. Applying a constraint to inappropriate selection a error was prompted.
So A2+ is much more convenient with this behaviour.

Re: A2plus constrain tools greyed out
Understood, and thank you.
I've used other SW in the past that allowed any constraint to be selected, then it prompts the user to select the appropriate features for the selected constraint.
Either way, thank you again
