How to make fix constraint to multiple items at a time?

[pausob]

There should be the "Fix Location" command in the right-click menu.  Note it is only available if ALL the selected components are unconstrained.

It's already assembled with some other reference. I want to remove that reference and give fix constraint. Is that possible?

AFAIK, not out of the box.  I'm sure it can be done by programming using VB or Toolkit or Jlink.

Or 3rd party automation like SmartAssembly, NitroCell or CreoSON.

I made a mapkey that can be run after selecting a component; it replaces its (1st) constraint set with a "fixed" constraint.

Unfortunately, it only works on a single component.

mapkey $F10 @MAPKEY_NAMEReplace 1st constraint set with Fix constraint;\
@MAPKEY_LABELImpose Fix constraint;\
~ Command `ProCmdRedefine`;\
~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `chkbn.ScrLayout.0` 1;\
~ PopupOver `ScrLayout.1.0` `PH.INST_RMB_.l0` 1 `PH.PIM_chk.l0`;\
~ Activate `ScrLayout.1.0` `PH.DELETE_PB_.l0`;\
~ Select `ScrLayout.1.0` `PH.pop_constr_offset_type` 1 `Fixed`;\
~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `dashInst0.stdbtn_1`;

Still, it might save you some mouse clicks...

Hi,

you cannot fix constraint to multiple items at a time.
