Apply a parallel relationship between two parts in an assembly

  1. On the command bar, on the Relationship Types list, click the Parallel button.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If you are replacing a relationship you deleted from an existing part, select the part to be repositioned.

    • If you are placing a new part into an assembly, select the element on the part which you want to be parallel to a part in the assembly.

  3. Select a part in the assembly.

  4. On the part in the assembly, select the element to which the first part is to be parallel.

  5. Press Enter.

Tip:

  • You can apply the parallel relationship with a floating offset or a fixed offset. With a fixed offset, you can type a value in the Offset Value box.

  • For a floating offset, you can apply an additional relationship to control the parallel offset value. For example, you can apply a planar align.
