About Piping/Tubing Symmetry

Piping/Tubing Symmetry allows you to generate a default or a customized symmetric product structure from an original one, and lets you manage associative links in position or in structure between the original product structure and the symmetric product structure.

You can access Piping/Tubing Symmetry using Assembly Symmetry function available in the Assembly Design app. For more information about the assembly symmetry tool, see Assembly Design User's Guide: Assembly Symmetry.

Customizing the symmetry process allows you to determine which products to be included in the symmetric product structure (result of the operation) and how they are generated and instantiated.

Important:
  • Restrict external selection with link to published elements option is not taken into account.

  • CATIA V4 features are not taken into account.
