Description

Managing Manikin placement connections is now simpler and more intuitive in Creo, providing enhanced control for repositioning and manipulation.

  • Improved Visibility: Placement connections are always visible in the Manikin Tree, with icons indicating the connection status.
  • Enabling Placement Connections:
    • If the placement connection is not enabled when you insert a manikin, right-click the Placement Connection under the Manikin Constraints node in the Manikin Tree and select Enable Constraint.

  • Disabling Placement Connections:
    • If the placement connection is enabled during insertion, you can right-click the Placement Connection and select Disable Constraint to release the constraint.

This functionality allows for quick and easy adjustments to manikins, making it more efficient to reposition them without disrupting the overall design.
