As part of editing detailing geometry, you can:
•edit detailing geometry objects,
•change the position of detailing geometry in the model.
Editing Detailing Geometry Objects
To edit objects in detailing geometry, either open it in a separate tab or switch to its context editing mode. After that, you can use any editing techniques described in the Editing model objectssection.
|
Editing on a separate tab is available only if a part or assembly is inserted into the model as detailing geometry. If detailing geometry is a local part, then it can be edited only in the context of the current model. |
To edit the detailing geometry on a separate tab, highlight it in the Design Tree and call the Edit Component in Window 
command from the Edit menu or the context menu. The source file of detailing geometry opens. This file can also be opened in the usual way using the File – Open... command.
After making all the necessary changes, save the source file of the detailing geometry and close it, or return to the tab of the model containing the detailing geometry.
|
When needed, you can save the edited detailing geometry in a file with a different name or in another location on the disk. The specifics of saving is described in the section Saving the component under a different name. |
To edit detailing geometry in the context of the current model, select the detailing geometry in the Design Tree and call the Edit component in Place 
command from the Edit menu or the context menu. The system will enter contextual editing mode for detailing geometry. Work in this mode is described in section Working in the context editing mode.
To finish editing the "in place" component, call the Edit component in Place command again, or press out the same-named button on the Quick Access Toolbar, or click the icon of the 
contextual editing mode in the graphic area of the model. The system will return to work with the main model.
|
When editing "in place", pay attention to the following feature. •If the detailing geometry is a part or assembly, then changes are made directly to the part/assembly file. After the editing is complete, a request to save the file appears on the screen. •If the detailing geometry is a local part, the save request is not issued, since the local part is not stored in an external file, but in the file containing the model. |
After making changes to the detailing geometry objects, rebuilding a modelis needed.
Changing the position of detailing geometry
You can change detailing geometry in the model, in that case if the detailing geometry and/or the model in which it is located contain local coordinate systems.
Step-by-step instructions
1.To that end, highlight the detailing geometry in the Design Tree and call the Place Component command in the context menu, or the Edit 
command from the Edit menu.
On the Parameter Toolbar, drop-down lists of the coordinate geometry of the detailing geometry and the current model will appear.
2.Choose from lists of coordinate systems to align. Lists are available if there are local coordinate systems in the detailing geometry and the current model.
The selected coordinate systems are aligned with each other and the position of the detailing geometry in the model changes.
3.To complete the moving process, click Create object 
button on the Parameter Panel header.
