Include standard

See also : Modification of a standard component

Menu access : Assembly | Include standard

Description :

Allows you to create a component by including a standard part or standard sub assembly.

General philosophy :

  1. Choose the standard component to include from the component dialog box.

  2. Confirm with the       OK       button.

  3. Position the component.

  4. Choose the propagation you want to apply on it.

  5. Choose the process to apply or select the STOP  button.

Specific point(s):

When assembling an element that has named faces, they are displayed red when the mouse moves above the shape. You can name faces using the Shape | Other operation | Name function in order to make a positioning more reliable in case of modification of the original model of the part.

When positioning an element using coordinate system, the destination coordinate system of the included component becomes invisible. You can change this behaviour with the D_COMPO_HIDE_DESTINATION_FRAME keyword which allows to hide the destination coordinate system. This keyword have to be added in your configuration file (\Missler\config\top.cfg) using the following syntax :

D_COMPO_HIDE_DESTINATION_FRAME

<tab> 0 or 1

(0 : visible coordinate system / 1 :hidden coordinate system)

Default value : 1

 

 

If the destination coordinate system already exist, it will not be modified.
