You will transform an user assembly (Nesting_guide_sizable) into a Component. This means defining the functional type of the
component (this is not mandatory), the Hook (Reference axis system used to position the Component), and the impacts (as assembly features).
When you add a new component to the design, you must also design the impacts of this new
component on its environment. The impacting elements have several missions:
Prevent collision conflicts between the new component and the elements of the
Tool that are already designed.
Give access to a Component by creating a hole in a plate, even if no
clash has been detected.
Pass the elements already present in the design of the Tool from their initial
to their final state, at least in the neighborhood of the new component.
The impacts are defined as assembly features. A list of assembly feature types is
proposed (Drill Hole, Tap Hole, Pad or Pocket). It is initialized with bodies matching naming
conventions used for the impacting elements. You can also select bodies to define as
impacting elements.

Open the Nesting_guide_sizable product in a new app.
This product contains the assembly to transform into a smart component.
Note:
Make sure you have activated the root of the assembly.
From the Component Definition section of the action bar, select Define
Component.
Click Yes in the message box.
The required skeleton is created in the product reference.
Define Component has detected and activated a
right-handed axis system. This axis system is proposed as the Hook.
Define the functional type of the Component. Click and select User Component under Misc. Component.
Expand Impacting Elements and note that the list is
empty.
Click Lists all candidates.
Three possible Drill Holes are proposed.
Place the pointer on each to visualize and check them.
Select the three check boxes to create the impacts and validate.
