Creating and Specifying a Tool Attachment

You can specify a tool attachment when creating a tool or a tool assembly, or when editing a tool change.

The available Tool Attachments are defined in the Resources tab ofPreferences.

One given tool or tool assembly is fixed to different components, hence the need to define a list of attachments defined by a type and one or several characteristics.

  1. Double-click a Tool Change in the Activities Process Tree
  2. Select More >> and select the Attachment tab.
  3. Select a Type from the first list and click +.
    The selected type is added to the multi-list. The Characteristic is updated according to the selected Type.
  4. Select a Characteristic from the first list and click +.
    The characteristic is paired to the type in the multi-list.
  5. Optional: Select more characteristics for the required type.
    They are paired to the type.
  6. Click OK.
    The attachment list applies to the current tool and does not change the definition in Preferences.
