Creating a Detail to Detail Link

You can create a link between detailed parts, to allow the propagation of geometries between them.

  1. From the Method Planning section of the action bar, click Link Detail to Detail .
  2. Select the target detailed part.
    The geometry is copied to this part to initialize the detailed design.
  3. Select the reference link.

    This is a concept to detail feature, that contains the elements to propagate.

A link feature is created in the target detailed part.

  • Its name is Link to: <Reference Feature Name>
  • It is created under a geometrical set, with the same name as the reference link.

It creates the following data model under the created geometrical set:

  • Propagate Geometry set: Copy of each feature located in the To Propagate set of the reference link.
  • Detailed Geometry set: Copy of each feature located in the Detailed Design set of the reference link. If the reference link is linked to a process step, the Detailed Design set is the one located in the Step Geometry set.
