Insert Components Behavior: Data Sheet

Accessing this behavior This behavior can be accessed by clicking the Insert Components icon ()
Describing this behavior This behavior is designed to enable the expert user to insert a component into a product. It enables you to create a component or to insert an existing component by specifying the number of instances. In the case of contextual parts or products, you can choose to change the context.
If the BKT_INSERT_COMP_CONTROL variable is set to 1, this behavior takes its context into account. If the number of instances is modified, the behavior executes:
  • If the number of instances is greater than the number of instances initially indicated, new instances are added. 
  • If the number of instances is inferior to the number of instances initially indicated, instances are removed.
