This is a video solution for practice exercise 1. For this next practice exercise, we want to start with the file c2w 1pe one as well as make sure that we upload the supplied file c2w 1pe one chick 1 lock. With our c2w 1pe one file open, we want to drag and drop the chick 1 lock vise into this file. This is going to automatically open up our move copy in this case for a component. We're going to drag it down so we can see the part and then say OK. I'm going to close the data panel and I want to start by breaking the link to the vise. This is a distributed design and it's a good idea to maintain a link. However, when we want to move the sliding jaw around inside of this file, it's going to be much easier if we have all of that information inside of here. So I'm going to choose to break the link. Then I want to expand this and I want to start by hiding the front jaw. The front jaw will have to move but right now I want to make sure that it's hidden. We're going to go to Modify > Align and we want to start by aligning components. When the cursor is on this face, I can hold down the Ctrl key and it allows me to navigate between these points without selecting any additional geometry. So I'm going to start by selecting that upper left hand corner and I'm going to rotate around and again holding down the Ctrl key do the same thing with my part. We will need to change the angle. So notice that as we flip this around, it gets the different orientations. Once you're happy with the position, we can capture it and say OK. If we temporarily show the front jaw just to make sure that it moved with our component, then we can hide it again, and this time we want to use move copy. We're going to set it to Components. We're going to select the entire vise component and then we want to move it a distance of a quarter inch. So grabbing the manipulator on the screen, I can move it up, and notice that it moves a distance of 0.5. I'm going to manually enter a value of 0.25 and capture the position and say, OK. Now we have a quarter inch of the part held in the vise, we can show our front jaw and we can hide our rear jaw. Now we want to align these two. From Modify, we're going to select Align. And this time instead of selecting a point, we're going to simply select the face, rotate around, and select the back face of our part. This allows us to align the geometry without aligning it to a specific point. We'll capture the position and say OK, then bring back our rear jaw. Notice what happened, it moved the entire design. So let's go ahead and undo this move and this time we're going to right-click on the base and ground it. Then go to Modify > Align and select the face of our moving jaw and the face of our part, capture position, and say OK. Now if we bring back the rear jaw, notice because we locked the base in place, the rear jaw was able to move. It's not fixed in place, and that's okay because we can always revert the position if we accidentally move it. From here we also want to change the appearance of the part. We can either hit A on the keyboard or we can expand the body's folder, right-click on the body, and navigate to Appearance. Because there's a red appearance for the vise in this file, I'm simply going to drag and drop the red on to that body and close this. Because the jaws of the vise were the same color as the default steel of my part, it's a little bit easier to make sure that they're different colors so that way we can differentiate between them on the screen. Once we have everything in place, let's go ahead and save the file.
