5.12.5.1.1.1. Assign class

In the PARTproject a component is to be classified, i.e. classes and characteristics are to be assigned and the result subsequently displayed in the PARTdataManager and then display the result in the

  1. Select the project file of the part, that you want to classify.

  2. Select the Classification Tabbed page and then the desired classification in the list box.

  3. Under Class system, select the appropriate class in which the selected component is to be included.

    It is helpful to use the filter (here "flat waher") to quickly find the correct class.

    eClass 13.0 > Class "Tapping screw, flat washer face, internal drive"

    eClass 13.0 > Class "Tapping screw, flat washer face, internal drive"

  4. Assign the class by selecting it and clicking on the Add button button or by double-clicking.

    Classes can be assigned to projects, connection points and other objects. See the notes below.

  5. Save the changes in PARTproject .

  6. Update the display index either via PARTproject -> Update index button button or via PARTadmin -> Index management [Index administration] (see Section 1.3.3.6, “ Index administration ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual ) so that the new assignments are displayed in the PARTdataManager are displayed. The update must be carried out for the affected projects as well as for the classification!

General information:

A classification can be designed for parts or connection points [Connection points], for example.

If there are several options, select the desired option in the list field under Filter before assigning (see Fig. „Tabbed page "Classification [Classification]" -> List field selection "CNS"-> "Filter [Filter]"“):

  • Classes

  • Connection points

  • Axes

  • Coordinate system

  • Edges

  • Surfaces

  • Sketch

  • PLANE

For most classifications, only the Classes option is available.

There are various selection options for the CNS classification. The Append points [Connection points] option is used particularly often.

Tabbed page "Classification [Classification]" -> List field selection "CNS"-> "Filter [Filter]"

Tabbed page "Classification [Classification]" -> List field selection "CNS"-> "Filter [Filter]"

There are two methods for this:

  1. Selection Classification @ CNS

  2. Select classification 3D view: The advantage of this procedure is that you have a direct reference to the component.

On this see Section 5.12.5.4, “Classify connection points”.

You can also carry out classification at directory level for several projects using the context menu command Add projects to classification. See Section 5.12.5.1.2, “ Assignment of classification classes and features at directory level ” in the next section.
