After invoking on of the Insertion of a component into a model The dialog for selecting the insertion source file – a standard Open File dialog or a dialog will appear on the screen. Select a component source file.
Specify the file of the required model in the dialog.
If this model contains versions, then the component geometry and properties will correspond to one of these versions. All versions existing in the model are included in the Variation list of the file selection dialog. Specify the desired version in the list.
In the selected model has additional version numbers created, then the dialog also contains the Additional Number list. By default, an empty row is activated in the list. This means that no additional number is selected. To select the desired number, activate its line.

When inserting a Component mockup, selecting an additional number is not possible. |
If the model contains, for the selected execution, variants of geometric representation, then the dialog contains a list of Variant. To select the required variant, activate the respective line in the list. If no choice is required, please keep the selected line By Default.
If necessary, you can select several models at once for insertion. To do this, specify the required models in the dialog while pressing the <Shift> or <Ctrl> key. In this case you cannot select versions and additional numbers in the dialog. You will be able to select the desired versions/additional numbers in the future when working with the list of models on the Parameter Toolbar. For more details on inserting multiple components...
To complete the model selection, click the Open button (or Select if the model is being chosen in the Select a component source file dialog).
Specifics of selecting a model for local insertion
If during insertion of a local part in the file selection dialog you specify an assembly, which in its turn contains local parts, then after completing the file selection, the Select local part dialog appears on the screen. It allows you to insert not the entire assembly, but one of its local parts into the current model.
To insert a local part from the assembly into the model, select it in this dialog and click Select.
To insert the entire assembly into the model, click Cancel in the dialog.
|
The local part selected from the assembly for insertion can be inserted into the model only as a local part. When changing the insertion type for the component or mockup, it is required to select a different source model for the insertion. Therefore, after switching the type (for this you use the buttons located in the header of the Parameter Toolbar) a dialog appears on the screen allowing you to select a new component source file. |
