Displaying Mounting Clearances

Parts management can be used to define a mounting clearance in terms of width, height, and depth on the Mounting data tab in the part properties. This mounting clearance ensures that the permitted thermal stress on parts placed beside or on top of one another is not exceeded.

To monitor this, the specified mounting clearances can be shown during placement. They are shown as transparent, surrounding bodies. In the placement options, the handle of a part to be placed can be set relative to the edges of the item (default) or to the mounting clearances.

Preconditions:

  1. Select the View > Mounting clearances menu items.

    A transparent body is shown around part placements that have a defined mounting clearance.
