In order for standard parts to be placed easier in the CAD system published elements are used. When parts with published elements are used then automatically the PARTsolutions placement dialog shows up in the CAD system.
In order for a fastener e.g. to be placed in a hole it needs a defined orientation in the coordinate system.
Therefor the already existing connection points are used, because these already have a complete coordinate system.
A plane and an axis (with direction) have to be defined.
The Z axis of the connection point determines the axis, X and Y axes determine the plane.
The realization happens with Published elements. Therefore the current[28] CNS class system must be installed.
For setting published elements proceed as follows:
-
In PARTproject select the 3db file of the part,
-
For setting the published elements use the preview area in PARTproject, which displays if you have selected a 3db file under Project selection on the left.
-
Right-click in the 3D area and select Choose connection point in the context menu.
-
Choose the desired connection point and confirm with .
-> The dialog area for connection points opens.
-
Activate the checkbox at Placing plane/axis.
Optionally set Name. However currently[29] it is not used.
-
In order to clearly orient the published element set the following 2 parameters:
-
Axis identifies the axis of the connection point to be used for the positioning. If the green pyramid points vertically to the bearing face it is the Z axis.
-
There are two values possible:
1: The part is inserted in positive direction of the Z axis (e.g. in bolts).
0: The part is inserted in negative direction of the Z axis (e.g. in nuts).
