This task explains how to
place devices by
drag and
drop with automatic
connection to an
existing component.
The devices to be imported from a catalog are:
- An equipment: EquipmentDA4
- Two single connectors: SingleConnectorDF56L and
SingleConnectorDF56R
|
|
Open a new product document. |
|
-
Click Catalog Browser
to open the CatalogOfDevices.catalog.
-
Double-click the
Electrical Devices: the folder content is displayed.
-
Double-click the
Equipments: the folder content is displayed.
-
Select the EquipmentDA4,
drag and drop it onto the Product1 in the specification tree.
The equipment is imported:
it is composed of three cavities. |
|
-
In the Electrical Devices
folder, double-click Single Connectors, then
-
Select the
SingleConnectorDF56L, drag and drop it onto the left cavity for
example or in the specification tree.
|
The connector is properly
located into the cavity: the constraints are created.
The result looks like this: |
|
|
The component is instantiated under the active product. |
-
Select the
SingleConnectorDF56R, drag and drop it onto the
SingleConnectorDF56L connector in the specification tree.
|
The connector is properly located onto
the male connector.
The result looks like this: |
|
-
Close the Catalog
Browser.

Note that when you insert a device into a product, you can take
advantage of Assembly Design capabilities to constrain the device within
the digital mock-up, profiting therefore by the associativity.
