Exchange Part (3-D)

Drawing > Insert Part > Exchange 3-D part

Use this function to exchange 3-D parts in the active drawing with other 3-D parts which have been saved as KRA or KRP files. Proceed as follows:

1. Before calling the function, activate the part that you want to exchange. Then select the new part.
2. HiCAD displays the selected part as a preview image and prompts you to specify the fitting point on this part. Right-click to apply the origin of the part coordinate system.
3. Next, specify the position of the previously selected point in the drawing.

The new part will be placed in the drawing in such a way that its directions coincide with the directions of the part to be exchanged. The origin position of the part coordinate system is determined by the position of the fitting points: If you apply the origin in both cases when specifying the fitting points, the part coordinate systems will coincide.

(1) original, (2) part to be exchanged, (3) after part exchange (apply origin)

Clicking opens a pull-down menu with further exchange functions that you can use when working with HELiOS:

	Exchange 3-D part, via document master
	Exchange 3-D part, via part master
