Call the command New rule on connection point "base dummy".

-> The dialog box Rule properties is opened.

Under Connection part, select "wing1" and under Connection point, select "mitte". Furthermore activate "Reverse direction".

Dialog box "Rule properties"

Confirm with OK.

-> The relation between "base_dummy" and connection point "wing1" is signalized by a red arrow line.

"wing1" is the first "real" part in the assembly.

Now connect wing1 with wing2 and bolt or alternatively fluegel2 with bolts via further rules.

After all connections are established, the following picture results.

In the docking window Assembly, now build up the configuration by alternating selecting parts in the listing and selecting table rows.

In order to be able to variably control the angularity, do the following:

At wing1, call the dialog box Rule properties via context menu of connection point ( ).

Put the following entry in the area Positioning in the field Rotation:

HINGEDUMMY@ANG

The variable "ANG" takes place in the dummy part which will not be exported but the table of the dummy part will be used by the assembly table project. The control of the angularity occurs this way in the assembly.

Now you can control the opening angle of the hinge with the value range variable "ANG".

Hinge opened with an angle of 45°

When opening the assembly configuration in PARTdataManager and then clicking the button Show assembly structure , you can see how parts are connected by rules in a graphic.

Note Only one part can be added on to the dummy starter-part! All other parts will be added on in the real "geometric starter-part". Otherwise the matings in the CAD system wouldn't work, since the dummy starter-part does is not exported.
