Model Parts List, General

General

• The part listing of the models is based on the item data of the part models.
• In part models, part item and raw material item data are defined.
• In assembly models, the item data of the assembly is defined, and the part data mainly comes through the parts in the structure of the assembly.
• The part and assembly models must be in the archive, and the models should be given archive data, which is partially copied into the model's item data when an item is created for the model.
• We recommend that the drawing is always opened through the model, so that changes in the parts of the model are updated in the drawing and in the parts list of the drawing.
  • Opening a model: Open from the Archives or from a Library.
  • Opening a model drawing: Open a Drawing from a Model.
