PARTshaft (3D)
Applications 
PARTsolutions (Part
Level)
Use this command to open the PARTsolutions PARTshaft application for inserting a range of 3D shafts and assemblies that are parametrically designed within PARTshaft. You can specify the shaft dimensions and select additional components such as bearings, o-rings, seals, etc. and then insert the assembly as a component in the active VX assembly.
Note that an assembly is first created and added to the active VX file before the insertion occurs. Refer to the PARTsolutions documentation about using the PARTshaft application. A valid license of PARTsolutions is required to operate this command.
At the Part Level, pick PARTshaft from the PARTsolutions Menu.
Specify the shaft elements and standard components within the shaft assembly as desired. The shaft assembly will be previewed as the components are specified.
In PARTshaft, pick the

PARTshaft will either collapse or exit depending on which icon is selected.
In VX, select the insertion point for the new component.
