(continued...) The scope of components that the assembly features affect can be specified.
A dedicated weldment environment exists to define the weldment assembly, weld bead specification, weld edge preparation and post-weld machining.
Drawings can include views of the assembly at each state of manufacture.
A Find Other Half option is available on assembly constraints in order to identify mated components which can be tricky in complex assemblies.
A standard parts library can be called in the browser pane of an assembly allowing part selection and a placement history and favourites list to be generated.
18 international standards of screws and bolts, nuts, washers, adjusting rings, bearings, circlips, O rings, parallel keys, pins, rivets, roller bearings, shaft seals and Woodruff keys are available.
A create view dialog allows view properties such as label, tangent edges and view style to be set while a shaded view is moved dynamically in the drawing sheet for placement.
For projected views the preview updates based on the cursor location including isometric when not in line of an orthographic projection.
Sketches can be used to create break-out views to reveal internal details.
Centrelines and centremarks can be added automatically with a dialog allowing the projection and feature types to be defined.
