File name: ...is entered automatically. Storage location of the component.

Designation [Description]: ...for the component within the configurator directory tree.

Formula name [Equation name] ...for the internal referencing of the component. Appears in brackets after the designation.

Note Once a formula name [Equation name] has been assigned, it can no longer be changed.

Start element: The component from which the creation of a set of rules is to begin is defined as the start element [Start element]. Check the corresponding option. Start elements are marked in the directory tree with a red circle in the directory tree.

Note Several components can also be defined as start elements!

Reusable [Multiple usage] a component can be inserted into the assembly in different positions and with different dimensions.

Absolutely position [Fully positionable] able:

Note This option is specifically intended for the start element. The other elements can be positioned in the Rule properties dialog.

This option enables shifting by a specified vector to any position in space.

As soon as you activate the option, the Position. [Position...].. button becomes active.

After clicking on Position. [Position...].. the Absolute positioning [Fixed positioning] dialog box opens.

The dialog is divided into 3 sections.

In the example above, the component was moved 5 units to the right in the direction of the X-axis and pivoted upwards in the X-Y plane (Z=0) using vector (1; 0.1). No changes were made to the orientation of the Y-axis of the component.

Note The Z axis field is not required as this value is calculated automatically. Invalid entries in the Y-axis section are automatically corrected.

Hide table the corresponding table is thus not visible in PARTdataManager.

Do not export [No export] when exporting the assembly from PARTdataManager to a CAD system, this component is not included.

Parts with the Do not export [No export] option are displayed in the PARTdataManager, in the dialog area Structure [Assembly], parts list [Bill of material] the icon NO CAD dialog area (see following illustration). ^[104]

NO CAD

Not er [No delete] asablecomponent cannot be removed from stencil.

Transfer to parts list [Transfer to Bill of Material]: The relevant part is transferred to the PARTbom order list.

Parts without the option Transfer to parts list [Transfer to Bill of Material] appear grayed out in the PARTdataManager "NO BOM" appears grayed out in the dialog area Structure [Assembly], parts list [Bill of material] (see following figure). ^[105]

NO BOM

Cut in 2D: ... defines whether the part should also be affected when cutting in 2D. Remove the check mark, for example, for screws that you do not want to have hatched when cutting.
