Angle constraint
- On this screen you can see the assembly we created in a previous movie. There have been one minor modification. I removed the flush constraint that we added right at the end of the movie. And the reason for this is, I wanted to show the angle constraint, which would also work in this case. If you left-click and drag on the joint on the far end, you'll notice that it has rotary motion available to it. We're gonna go ahead and use the angle constraint to resolve that. If, for example, you wanted this always oriented in this position with the two joints offset, an angle constraint is actually a better solution. That said, it could also replace your flush constraint too. Because if you set the angle to a 0-degree offset, you could align both of these faces, and that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna start by right-clicking in the graphics window, and selecting Constraint. We're gonna set the type of constraint to angle instead of mate, and you can see that new selection options are…
