Animating the Assembly

Your view of the assembly is changed to be consistent with the direction

of the arrow you selected.

4. Select the green arrow shown in the image to the right.

Your view of the assembly changes to a different isometric view.

5. Press the spacebar again to switch back to Orbit mode and then press

the Esc key to quit.

Note: Both Orbit and Common View modes are available in any 3D

modeling environment, including part and assembly modeling.

Repositioning the Bolts

Next, you are going to create an exploded view of the clamp assembly by

repositioning the bolts located at the top of the assembly. In Autodesk

Inventor this process is called tweaking components. You could later use

this exploded view to create a drawing that can appear in a bill of materials

(BOM) sheet or on a page of the assembly instructions that ships with the

jogging stroller.

To tweak the two bolts:

1. On the Panel bar, click the Tweak Components tool.

To define the direction of the tweak:

2. Move the cursor over the top face of the bolt to display a

preview of the triad.

3. When the Z direction of the triad preview is pointing up,

click to accept.

To define the components to tweak:

4. Select both bolts (both bolts should be highlighted in blue).

To tweak the position of the bolts:

5. Ensure the Z option is selected in the Tweak Component

dialog box (the Z arrow on the triad should also be blue).

6. Drag the two bolts in an upward direction.

7. To define the exact distance of the tweak, type 40 mm in the

Tweak Component dialog box and then click the

green check mark to accept that value.
