This reference describes Assembly Feature
behaviors in assembly document and their Resulting Features in part
document. |
|
Visualization Mode
|
|
According to the
Access to geometry option, part documents in Visualization Mode affected
by an Assembly Feature swap automatically or not to the Design Mode: |
|
- If the Automatic switch to Design mode option is checked:
- Assembly feature creation: selected part documents swap
automatically from Visualization Mode to the Design Mode to create it.
- Assembly feature edition: affected part documents swap automatically
from Visualization Mode to the Design Mode to edit it.
- Assembly feature deletion: affected part documents swap
automatically from Visualization Mode to the Design Mode to delete it.
|
|
- If the Automatic switch to Design mode option is unchecked
or if the part document is unloaded:
- Assembly feature creation: selected part documents are not modified.
- Assembly feature edition: affected part documents cannot be
modified.
- Assembly feature deletion: the Assembly Feature is deleted in the
assembly document, but not the Resulting Features in the affected part
documents. The Broken mask appears on the specification
tree Resulting Features icons, when the part is be loaded.
|
|
Links of Resulting Features
|
|
In Part Design context:
- The Edit > Links... command show the links of the part's
Resulting Features.
- The Parent/Children... command on a Resulting Feature show
the Assembly Feature link.
If the link is broken, the Broken mask appears on the
specification tree icons. |
|
Isolate Resulting Features
|
|
To edit, copy, paste or delete a Resulting
Feature, you must isolate it before these operation. In this case the
resulting Feature behavior is the same as its Part feature equivalent. Take
care that you cannot reconnect an isolated Resulting Feature. |
|
Design in Context
|
|
Assembly features are always design in context
and the Keep link with selected object option lets you maintain
the links between external references only:
- If you wish to isolate a resulting feature, run the Isolate
contextual command.
- If you wish to create a feature on only one part, edit the part
directly.
