Figure 3 shows an example of a tweak. All of that component's tweaks will be deleted, and it will return to its pre-tweaked position. Assembly Trails Assembly trails, as shown in Figure 4, are lines that show the paths used in moving parts away from their assembled positions.
Trails follow the paths made by explosion factors and tweaks.
They are parametric, and, therefore, they change as the parts and the positions of the parts change. You must pick a point on the edge of a face. The trail will extend from the center of circular edges and from the endpoint of straight and arc-shaped edges. Once you have selected a reference point, Mechanical Desktop will display the Trail Offset dialog box for you to use in controlling the relative locations of the trail's endpoints. It is divided into two clusters of edit boxes.
