Moving a part while adding constraints

Ever wish you could move a part that you are assembling while in the component placement dialog (without switching to the Move tab)? You can.



While you are adding constraints, hold down both the ctrl and alt keys, and use any of the three mouse buttons to dynamically move the part you are assembling. The right button translates the part in the viewing plane, the middle button rotates the part, and the left button moves the component normal to the screen (and will also adjust the viewing angle temporarily so you can see what you're doing).
