Fastened Items

Fasteners Management

Automatically Assign and Reassign Fasteners

This option allows you to automatically assign fasteners that join parts. When you select parts to assign, unassign, or reassign, all fasteners joining these parts together are assigned on the first parent Manufacturing Assembly where the parts are assembled.

Similarly, fasteners joining these parts with already-assigned parts are assigned on the first parent Manufacturing Assembly where the parts are assembled.

By default, the check box is cleared.

Use Same Fasten Step Reference to Implement Fasteners Having: Same Diameter, Same Type, Same set of Joined Parts

This option allows you to use the same Fasten step reference for identical fasteners. Identical fasteners must have the same diameter, type, and set of joined parts.

By default, the check boxes are cleared.

Manufactured Part Update Status

There are two capabilities for managing Manufactured Part update status:

• From Assembly Logic: in this case, the manufactured part structure and the resulting product are regenerated from the design and assembly logic.
• From Manufactured Part Structure: in this case, the resulting product is regenerated from the manufactured part structure only.

The following options allow you to choose between these capabilities:

From Assembly Logic

When selected:

• Item Update Status in the B.I. Essentials panel has the following behavior: If the Manufactured Part structure or the resulting product is not up to date according to the design and the assembly logic, the tile is blue. Otherwise, it is green.
• Manufactured Part Management > Update a Manufactured Part on Manufactured Parts and Manufactured Part Management > Update a Manufactured Part on Manufacturing Assemblies have the following behavior: The Manufactured Part manufactured part structure and the resulting product are updated according to the design and assembly logic.

From Manufactured Part Structure

When selected:

• Item Update Status in the B.I. Essentials panel has the following behavior: If the Manufactured Part structure has been modified since the last update, the tile is blue. Otherwise, it is green.
• Manufactured Part Management > Update a Manufactured Part on Manufactured Parts and Manufactured Part Management > Update a Manufactured Part on Manufacturing Assemblies have the following behavior: The resulting products of the Manufactured Parts are updated according to the Manufactured Part structure.

By default, the From Assembly Logic option is selected.
