-
1. RENAME PART/ASSEMBLY
Renames the part or assembly with a unique numerical part number including a prefix as specified by the user.
Prerequisites:- Part or assembly open
- Part or assembly selected
- NOTE: Saved files cannot be renamed. In this case the user will be given an option to duplicate the part with a unique part number in current directory
-
2. INSERT NAMED PART INTO ASSEMBLY
Creates a new part with unique numerical name and saves it to the assembly directory, then inserts it into the current assembly. This avoids the annoying process of creating a virtual part then having to re-name it, then save it externally. Now all that is just a single click.
Prerequisites:- Assembly open
-
3. DUPLICATE ASSEMBLY PART
This duplicates the selected part in the assembly tree, renames it a unique numerical number, saves and inserts it back into the current assembly.
Prerequisites:- Assembly open
- Part selected (must be externally saved to disk somewhere)
-
4. SMART PACK AND GO
Smart pack and go is similar to a normal pack and go, however it renames all the parts with totally unique numerical part numbers (with a prefix as specified by the user).
Prerequisites:- Assembly open
-
5. QUICK EXPORT STEP/STL/DXF/PDF
Export single files quickly to a specified directory in 2 clicks instead of 5.
Prerequisites:- Assembly or part open
- NOTE: when exporting STL make sure not to select anything in the part tree, otherwise it will only export that body.
-
6. BATCH EXPORT ASSEMBLY CAD FILES + SHOPPING LISTS
Export an entire assembly into a folder structure of STEP and PDF files (with part revisions in the names) including excel shopping lists/folders based different vendors / manufacturers as specified in the part metadata. BOM list with part images is also exported.
Prerequisites:- Assembly open
- If "export BOM" selected, top assembly must have drawing with the same name and a BOM on first page
- If "export shopping lists" selected, BOM must have two columns "Vendor" and "Manufacturer" which are case sensitive.
-
7. BATCH EDIT PROPERTIES
Provides an Excel-based interface to batch edit all part properties in an assembly. This includes:
- Batch editing all properties (material, weight, partNo, etc) inside current configuration
- Edit properties directly in Excel for easy bulk modifications
- NOTE: Configuration, filename columns are read-only
Prerequisites:- Assembly open
- Microsoft Excel installed
