Allow Part Machining - Options

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.

Define when part machining is allowed.

  1. Define machining with feature in the part properties as follows:
    • Allowed = The part is only machined if it is a local part. (Default)
    • Allowed also as link = The part is machined, even if it is a link part.
    • For more details, see: Part Properties Dialog Box
  2. If necessary, you can change a link part to a local part in the assembly
    • Select the part.
    • Select the context-sensitive function Other Functions > Change to Local.
    • Changing a Part Local
Note:
  • Link parts have the .L extension in their labels in the assembly tree. Parts that have been defined as local do not have this extension.
