Three programs I use with A2+

[dan-miel]

Here are three programs that I use with A2plus Assembly program. I have combined them into a workbench. If you think they might be useful you can download the workbench athttps://github.com/DanMiel/A2plusmore/releases Instructions are in a pdf in the GitHub download

In Auto On I use the left mouse button only (DO NOT use the control key) to select a feature from two parts and then depending on the features selected a “default” constraint is automatically selected to connect the two parts. If you do not want the default constraint simply pick the constraint you want from the active constraints before you select the parts. This process is similar to how SolidWorks selections work so if you are accustomed to using SolidWorks it will be familiar to you.

Using the orange update button updates parts that have been modified. Features that are attached to the constraint are recorded before the part is updated. After the update the constraint is attached to these features instead of being attached to the feature’s Name. This reduces the number of errors when updating modified parts. If you have changed only dimensions in the part use the normal update tool in A2+, if you have added holes or changed a part physically. Try this update tool.

The lantern icon is for viewing constraints and fixing constraint problems. You can also move the leg of a constraint from one feature to another. The constraint viewer is the you tube video at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9y3a0fKtoA&t=38s
Instructions for these programs are attached to this post and in the zipped download file on github.com.
The workbench can be down loaded from here. https://github.com/DanMiel/A2plusmore/releases
