Now create the Assembly Table Project.

  1. Switch to PARTproject.

  2. Under Project selection -> Context menu of scharnier_asmtpl.prj, click on the command Create assembly table project.

    The Create [Create assembly table] assembly table window appears.

  3. Enter the file name [File name]. This is made up of the project path and a selected name. The target folder can be easily selected using the three dots. Now enter the project in the list field that contains the table with which you want to control the assembly. In our example, this is "SCHARNIERDUMMY". Then click on OK.

  4. Select "hinge_asmtab.tab".

    If you have already adapted the table of "scharnier_dummy.tab/tac", the standard designation [Standard name] is correct.

    Otherwise assign a unique standard name to the assembly.

    Assign standard name (here 'Hinge L=$L.Winkel=$ANG.')

    Assign standard name (here 'Hinge L=$L.Winkel=$ANG.')

  5. So that PARTdataManager only the assembly table project is visible and not the "intermediate steps" assembly template and assembly configuration, hide them using Hide project in the context menu of the directory tree. You should also hide the dummy project.

  6. Update the index.

    -> Now you can select the single parts "Wing" and "Bolt" and the Assembly Table Project "Hinge" in PARTdataManager.
