The CADENAS classification (CNS) is not directly visible in the PARTdataManager but a large number of functions are controlled via the assigned class characteristics.

The classification (CNS) is not only designed for parts, but also for part components such as connection points [Connection points].

Before assigning, select the desired option in the list field under Filter.

  • Classes

  • Connection points

  • Axes

  • Coordinate system

  • Edges

  • PLANE

  • Sketch

  • Surfaces

In addition to the Classes option, the Append points [Connection points] option is used particularly often.

You can classify connection points (geometric objects) in PARTproject also classify them in the preview [Preview]. The advantage of this is that you have a direct reference to the component. See also Section 5.12.9, “Classify connection points ”.

If you select the Classes option in the filter [Filter], the following selection appears:

[Note]Note

The classes CNSERPBASE (material characteristic properties), CNSGEOMBASE (geometric properties) and CNSPHYPROP (physical properties) contain general characteristics that should ideally always be set as far as possible.
