How block axis to only movie in X , Y or Z

I download an component, and only want he movie axis X , how i block to only is moviment ?

use arrow keys to constrain move along specific axis.

Also you can press down the Shift key while you’re moving the component along your desired axis to lock the movement.

But i want block for always , not an solution temporary.

it is an solution temporary i want block for always.

why?

you can add ‘glue’ to a component so it always stick to a face plane…

You could make it a Dynamic Component and set attributes to limit the movement to only one axis.

DaveR… you beat me to it once again!

… but here is an example

It is door protect rain.

looks like you need to edit the components properties to have it “glue to” any surface (or whichever you specify).
It may need its axes changed to conform to your model.

Hmmmm…

No gluing. Set up just like ChrisDizon’s example.

It works for me. You just have to set the component axes correctly.

Looks like you uncovered a small bug. There is an easy work around. Simply change the unit view values to inches by selecting the unit button at the top of the dialog. While in inches, it will accept the forced value formula. After you are done, change it back to CM if you wish.
