Adding a standard product |
Scroll |
If the product uses stock products (bolts, nuts, screws, etc.), you do not need to model them as unique parts. Standard product models can be inserted from the Stock Products application. This application must be installed at your workplace.
To insert a standard product into the model, invoke the Insert element command.
In the reference window that appears, find the desired stock product, select it with a mouse click and press the Select button.
The controls for specifying parameters and inserting stock product will appear in the Parameters panel.
Change the product dimensions, if required. Then indicate the product insertion point or the objects for mating in the graphic area, then click Create object 
button.
The inserted product will appear in the model graphic area, and its icon 
will be in the Design Tree.
For more information about the capabilities of the Stock Products application, refer to its documentation.
Basic techniques for working with a standard item – shift and rotation, overlaying matings, setting properties, access control etc. – are the same as when working with a unique component (part, subassembly).
