Constrain the Cover Part - Place Constraint

Finally, you constrain the cover part to the box. This process is nearly identical to the steps you took to constrain the panel part.

1. In the browser, expand the origin folder nested under the cover part.
2. Ctrl-click YZ Plane and XZ Plane, right-click the text for one of the planes, and then select Visibility.
   
3. Press C on the keyboard to activate the Place Constraint dialog box.
   NoteUsing the keyboard is often a more comfortable method of invoking commands for users who are transitioning from AutoCAD.
4. Select the face of the box, as shown.
   
5. Select the inside face of the cover. Click the following illustration to see how the constraint previews.

    

6. Click Apply to create the constraint. The inside face of the cover is mated to the outside face of the box.
