    Specify the position of the first bearing.

    1. Click Cylindrical Face, and select the shaft face in the assembly.
    2. Click Start Plane. Select the plane in the shaft where the bearing will be mated.
    3. Click the Orientation option to change the orientation of the bearing.

      The program automatically inserts the Bearing Inside Diameter (Shaft Diameter) value into the filter dimension edit fields on the right side of the Design tab.

    NoteThe beginning workflow can vary. You can first select the type of bearing from Content Center, and then specify ranges for outside bearing diameter, shaft diameter, and bearing width. Selecting the shaft cylindrical face is a logical first step, because the program then inserts the values for shaft diameter automatically into the Bearing Generator.
