Hi,
is it possible to constrain parts to origin (point, axes and planes) and to datum objects in A2plus ? For example, I would like to:
- make a specific point of the assembly coincident with (0,0,0)
- constrain datum planes belonging to two separate parts so that they are parallel and offset by a given distance
Can it be done in A2plus ? If not then maybe other assembly workbenches could help ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The only way I found to use planes is to add them to the assembly separately and then attach them to the part or origin. Here are the steps I used.

Thanks for the reply. So basically datum planes can't be used to constrain parts and user has to actually model the planes as large rectangular surfaces, right ?
I wonder what capabilities other assembly workbenches have in this area. After all, it's an important functionality.
