Allow a Part to be Machined

The following options are available for machining a part in an assembly:

  • Allow the machining of local parts.
  • Allow the machining of link parts.
  • Allow the machining of both local and link parts.
  • Prevent the machining of parts.

You can allow the machining of an assembly part as follows:

  1. Define machining with feature in the part properties as follows:
    • Allow the machining of local parts only.
    • Allow the machining of link parts.
    • Allow the machining of both local and link parts.
  2. You can define the part as a local part in the assembly by selecting the context-sensitive function Change.
Note:
  • Link parts have an L extension in their labels in the assembly tree. Parts that have been defined as local do not have this extension.
