Fastener Section

The Fastener section of the action bar provides commands for the management of fasteners.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Visualizing Fasteners
Flyout for Creating Wireframe Elements
Flyout for Generating Reports
Flyout for Updating Flexible Fasteners


	Create Spot Fastener Creates spot fasteners. See Instantiating Spot Fasteners.
	Create Bead Fastener Creates bead fasteners. See Instantiating Bead Fasteners.
	Fastener Edition Modifies fasteners by redefining the stacking, the location method, changing the direction or the references. See Legacy - Modifying Fasteners.
	Create Bundle Creates fastener bundles by selecting fastened parts See Creating Fasteners Bundles.
	Selection Wizard Searches for fasteners by using the search criteria you specify and performs the selection. Greatly improves the selection of fasteners before running a command. See Selecting Fasteners.
	K Vector Visualization See Flyout for Visualizing Fasteners.
	Assembly Symmetry Creates symmetries of fasteners and generates a symmetric product structure from the original one. See Creating Symmetric Fasteners.
	Fastener Annotation Associates 3D annotations to fasteners. See Creating Annotations.
	Fastener Import Imports fasteners data from a V5 neutral file to the current product. See Importing Data.
	Point See Flyout for Creating Wireframe Elements.
	Short Report Generates a report listing the fasteners of a given product along with its representations. See Generating a Short Report.
	Immersive Report See Flyout for Generating Reports.
	Positioning Analysis Performs a positioning analysis to help you reposition the selected fasteners. See Repositioning Fasteners Using Positioning Analysis.
	Update Flexible Fastener See Flyout for Updating Flexible Fasteners.

Flyout for Visualizing Fasteners


	K Vector Visualization Displays points and K vectors. See Visualizing Technological and Axis Representations.
	Technological & Axis Visualization Displays technological representations and axes. See Visualizing Technological and Axis Representations.
	Customized Visualization Changes the representation of a selection of fasteners. See Visualizing Technological and Axis Representations.

Flyout for Creating Wireframe Elements


	Point Creates a point. See Creating Points.
	Line Creates a line. See Creating Lines.
	Plane Creates a plane. See Creating Planes.
	Axis System Creates axis systems. See Defining an Axis System.

Flyout for Generating Reports


	Immersive Report Generates an immersive tab-separated file listing the fasteners of a given product along with its representations. See Generating an Immersive Report.
	Rules Immersive Report Displays the results computed by running Fastener Rules Check. Active rules are computed and a report is generated. See Creating a Rules Immersive Report.
	Fastener Stacking Assistant Proposes a stacking for the parts that have not been automatically fastened. A report then lists all fastener instances, their respective status and the proposals issued by the system. See Legacy - Fastening Evolved Parts Using Fastener Stacking Assistant.

Flyout for Updating Flexible Fasteners


	Update Flexible Fastener This command is available for legacy flexible fasteners. Updates flexible length fasteners whenever the thickness of one component has been modified. You can update: A restricted number of flexible length fasteners All the flexible length fasteners of a product All the flexible length fasteners present in session See Legacy - Updating Flexible Length Fasteners.
	Update Flexible Fastener with Wizard Searches for and updates flexible length fasteners whenever the thickness of one component has been modified. Updates a large number of flexible length fasteners but also lets you restrict the update to some specific ones. See Legacy - Updating Specific Flexible Length Fasteners Using the Wizard.
