Quick Tip: Tangent Constraint

Adding constraints to your designs within Autodesk Inventor is a crucial step in every assembly process. However, sometimes constraints aren’t as simple as just faces or centerlines. If you need a component to stay tangent to another part in your assembly, then the tangent constraint is exactly what you want to use. By some simple selections of tangent faces, you can assemble roller components, sliding components, and more. Watch the quick tip video below to master this tool.
