File name: ...is automatically entered. Storage location of part.

Description: ...for the part within the configurator index tree.

Equation name: ...for internal referencing of the part. Located in parenthesis behind description.

Note Once assigned, an Equation name can not be changed.

Start element: The part, from which the creation of a set of rules is to begin, is defined as the Start element. Set a checkmark at the respective option. Start elements are identified by a red circle in the index tree.

Note You may also define more parts as start elements! Important! See also ????.

Multiple usage: A part can be inserted in different positions and with different dimensions into the assembly.

Fully positionable :

Note This option is intended for the start element. All other elements can be positioned in the dialog Rule properties.

This option enables shifting by a specified vector to any position in space.

As soon as the option has been activated, the button Position... becomes active.

When clicking on Position... the dialog box Fixed positioning is opened.

The dialog is divided into 3 sections.

In the example above, the part was moved 5 units to the right on the x-axis and at level x-y (z=0) with vector (1; 0,1) moved upwards. In respect to the orientation to the y-axis, no changes were made.

Note The z-axis field is not needed since this value is automatically calculated. Incorrect entries in the y-axis section are automatically corrected.

Hide table:The according table is no longer visible in the PARTdataManager.
