2.5.4.2.4. Adding parts to the PARTdataManager "Own parts " library

The following describes how to transfer a part (or assembly) created with CoCreate Modeling to PARTsolutions in the own parts library [My parts].

Optionally you can transfer the part with an explicitly created coordinate system and later export it with this orientation from PARTsolutions.

  1. Open or create a part in CoCreate Modeling.

  2. Select My library [User library] -> Record [Insert].

  3. -> The Record [Insert] dialog opens.

    Now you have two possibilities:

    1. Under Part/Assembly, select the component/assembly and confirm directly using to confirm.

      The coordinate system of the part is centered in the middle of its bounding box.

      The component is displayed according to this orientation in the 3D preview in PARTdataManager, saved and later exported in exactly the same way.

    2. Optionally you have the possibility to explicitly define an own coordinate system.

      Click on the Reference button.

      -> The dialog "Aufnehmen" (Insert) is enhanced.

      Click in the drawing and define the point, W-axis and U-axis to define your own coordinate system.

      The part is displayed in the 3D preview in PARTdataManager, saved and later exported exactly according to this orientation.

    Click on the Apply button and confirm with .

  4. The view changes to PARTdataManager and the Select folder window opens.

    1. Select the desired folder under Own parts [My parts].

      (If you want to create a new subfolder, click on Create folder.

      Enter a name for the new subfolder in which the component is to be stored and confirm with OK )

    2. Confirm with OK.

  5. --> The part is transferred and is now stored at PARTdataManager in the own parts library [My Parts]. The coordinate system is also saved so that the part can be reinserted correctly at any time later.

    In the 3D preview you can recognize the difference: With and without explicitly applied coordinate system.

    Coordinate system in the middle of the bounding box

    Coordinate system in the middle of the bounding box

    Coordinate system explicitly applied

    Coordinate system explicitly applied

Include assemblies in own parts library [My Parts]

The procedure with Assemblies is the same.

Export own parts from PARTdataManager

Exporting an "own" part from PARTsolutions: When exporting your own parts from PARTdataManager -> Own parts [My parts], proceed in exactly the same way as for standard and purchased parts. (See Section 2.6.2, “ Insert from the standard and purchased parts library via "PARTdataManager"”)

The part reinserted from Own parts [My parts] has the original alignment.

Part in CoCreate Modeling from PARTdataManager-> "Own parts [My parts] " inserted again

Part in CoCreate Modeling from PARTdataManager-> "Own parts [My parts] " inserted again
