Summary: Adds the ability to use the constraint interface for part placement without actaully putting in the hard constraint.
Description: I wish that Inventor had a constraint that you could add that is "For positioning only". Often times when working in an assembly you need to move a part to a specific location but don't want to apply a constraint after the part has mobed there. This is a feature that exists in Solidworks and I really miss it.
How Used: I would add a check box to the constraint dialog box that says "For Positioning Only". If I check this box then the part will move to the desired position but no actual constraint will be shown in the tree.
Feature Affinity: Assemblies
