If you chose <b class="uiTerm">Automatic</b>, the flange is positioned for you (for example, the system creates the positioning dimensions to locate the flange).

When you choose <b class="uiTerm">OK</b> or <b class="uiTerm">Apply</b>, the standard<b class="uiTerm"> RPO</b> dialog box displays. You can choose from a variety of techniques to position the flange.

      <p class="para_division">If you chose <b class="uiTerm">Manual</b>, you must create at least two constraints to lock the flange to the attachment face. Typically, one can be <b class="uiTerm">Line Onto Line</b> and the other can be either a horizontal or a vertical dimension. If you do not fully constrain a flange that is attached to another flange, you will get a <em>Tool body completely outside target body</em> error message when you unform the parent flange.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">For each constraint, you must select either an edge of the tool body, the center line of the attachment face, or one of the four lines that mark the perimeter of the attachment face. The center line or perimeter lines are especially useful to modify constraints while editing the flange.</p>
