2.6.4.  Insert model (2D) from the standard and purchased parts library

The following describes how to insert 2D individual parts from the standard and purchased parts library [Standard and supplier parts library] into your CAD system.

  1. Click in the PARTsolutions Menu click on Insert model.[12]

    -> The view changes to PARTdataManager.

  2. Select the desired component in the part selection [Part selection]. [13]

    PARTdataManager - Parts selection [Part selection]

    PARTdataManager - Parts selection [Part selection]

  3. Specify the desired characteristic in the parts view [Part view].

    PARTdataManager - Parts view [Part view]

    PARTdataManager - Parts view [Part view]

  4. Creating the 2D deriv [2D derivation] ation

    To do so, you have the following options:

    1. Click on the 2D derivation button.

      -> The 2D derivation docking window opens.

      PARTdataManager - 2D view

      PARTdataManager - 2D view

      Select a view.[14]

    2. Alternatively, you can skip calling up the 2D view and directly click Transfer to CAD click.

      The Select view to be transferred [Choose view to pass...] dialog box then opens.... [Choose view to pass...]

      Choose view to pass...

      Choose view to pass...

      Select the desired view.

      [Note]Note

      The behavior depends on the setting under PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings [Settings...]... -> Transfer to CAD [Export to CAD] menu

      PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings [Settings...]..

      PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings [Settings...]..

      If the Always ask if multiple options are available [Always ask, if more than one alternative exists] option is selected, the Select view to pass. [Choose view to pass...].. dialog box appears in every case. in every case.

      The following views are available in the Select view to be transferred. [Choose view to pass...].. dialog box. dialog box:

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A2 - A2)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A3 - A3)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A4 - A4)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN (BOM) - )

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A0 (BOM) - A0)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A1 (BOM) - A1)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A2 (BOM) - A2)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A3 (BOM) - A3)

      • 2D derivation (frame DIN A4 (BOM) - A4)

  5. Click on the button (option a) or confirm with Transfer [Commit] (option b)[15]-> The view switches back to the CAD system.

  6. Insert the part and/or assembly with the placement method of your CAD system.

    Example AutoCAD

    Example AutoCAD



[12] In AutoCAD, for example, Insert model is displayed by default. Whether 2D or 3D mode is used in CAD depends on whether the 2D derivation was previously created in PSOL. The button display can be switched to Insert 2D via Config.

Please also note the setting under PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings [Settings...]... -> Transfer to CAD [Export to CAD].

[13] You can find a detailed description of PARTdataManager at Section 3.1, “ PARTdataManager ”.

[14] Detailed information on the 2D view can be found under Section 3.1.10, “ Create 2D derivation ”.

[15] You can also export the component using "Export to file [Export in file] ". Detailed information on this can be found under Section 3.1.9, “ Export into different file formats (without PARTsolutions interface) ”.
