Component Use Section

The primary area of the Component Use section provides commands for inserting or moving components or impacts management).

This page discusses:

Define Component Specifications
Defines the position of one or several components from published axis systems.
See Defining Component Specifications.
See Flyout for Place Components
Insert Adaptive Systems
Instantiates or edits Adaptive Systems.
See Inserting an Adaptive System.
See Flyout for Dimensions
Move Components
Moves one or several Components.
See Moving Components.
See Flyout for Remove
Duplicate and Replace
Replaces the selected components by a duplicated reference.
Impacts
See Flyout for Managing Impacts.
Adaptive Components
Reconnects features with external links of an Adaptive Component in the context.
See Reconnecting Adaptive Components in the Context.
Engineering Connection
See Assembly Design User's Guide: Engineering Connections.

Flyout for Place Components

Place Components
Places or connects components from their Component Specifications, or mechanical interfaces, or normal to a surface.
See Placing Components.
Connect or Reconnect
Connects the selected Component with the selected Component Specification.
See Moving Components.

Flyout for Dimensions

Change dimensions from Component Family
Changes dimensions of the component by selecting another configuration in the Component Family.
Design Table Edition
Edits the Design Table of the Component.

Flyout for Remove

Remove Components and Keep Associated Component Specifications
Removes components and their impacts but keeps the associated Component Specifications.
Remove Component and Associated Component Specifications
Removes the component, its impacts and associated Component Specifications.

Flyout for Managing Impacts
