Define New Usage Assigment

Replace the marked string with the name of the new usage.

 

Please note:

If the activated part type is an assembly, the name of the default configuration for this assembly type will be displayed instead of the Strings_MASTER_ - unless such a configuration does not yet exist.

For user-defined (own) part types the string Default(Name) will be displayed instead of the string _MASTER_ , with Name being the name of the part type.

 

If you want to apply the values of an already existing usage, activate the Copy values checkbox and choose the desired usage.

Close the dialogue window with OK.

The new usage setting will be entered in the Usage-dependent setting field and will be immediately visible in the structure tree of the Configuration Editor.

Click on the Apply button to finalize the adding of the new part type.
