Start Block Design
General
- A block is always an assembly model.
- When creating a new assembly model, it automatically becomes hydraulic block assembly type (Assembly Properties dialog box).
- As the first part in the assembly, the part "BLOCK" is imported from the component library, which is therefore a billet for the hydraulics block.
- When a BLOCK is imported into an assembly, it gets the same name as the actual assembly.
