Notes:
One rule set can contain many size and locating rules.
Each rule takes the full path name of the component to be added and the target location.
Make sure that the selected component or entity has a name attached to it.
The rules are activated during the Add Mold Component stage. This stage is similar to the Add From Catalog operation (in the Assembly application), however, Add Mold Component also activates the rules.
The rules are not regenerated, they only define automatic selection during the add component function.
