These functionalities are available in both the Electrical
Assembly and Part workbenches.
They are used to add an electrical behavior to a product or a part.
As a result, the product itself, the instance or the reference becomes an
electrical element:
When you open a CATPart document and you add an electrical behavior to the part, it is the reference which will be modified. If you insert this part in an assembly, all the occurrences will be modified.
When you open a CATProduct document containing a CATPart, if you double-click to activate the product of the part or the part, and add an electrical behavior to it, the result is similar: you have modified the reference and all the occurrences will have an electrical behavior. As a consequence, you will have to save the part.
On the other hand, if the root product is activated and you select the product of the part, it is only this instance of the part which will become an electrical device. The reference is NOT modified.
This rule applies for all the devices.
