Part III: Working with Assemblies
FIGURE 14.22
Changing the tires in the Component Properties dialog box
- Repeat Steps 4 to 6 for the Rear Wheel assembly.
- Double-click another configuration from the list and watch the assembly change
from small to fat tires.
- Change to the Motion configuration. RMB-click the Stem-Fork assembly, select
Component Properties, and set the assembly to be solved as Flexible.
- Exit the dialog box and check to see that the fork linkage mechanism moves by
dragging the fork. Notice that the fork works but that the front wheel does not move
with it. The bike design is not yet complete, so you do not need to worry about that at
this point. Putting the front wheel in the fork assembly could be used to make the wheel
move with the fork.
- Switch to the Skeleton Driven Positions configuration.
- Display the assembly layout sketch at the top of the FeatureManager.
- Create two new derived configurations under the Skeleton Driven Positions config-
uration, one called Default Position and the other called Compressed Position.
