Part Creation Functions
3-D Standard > New
You can find the functions for the creation of new 3-D parts on the New function group of the 3-D Standard tab.
The following functions are available:
|
|
Creates a new 3-D assembly. Assemblies are used in 3-D for the structuring of model drawings. Click |
|
|
Derivation of a general cylinder from a 3-D sketch. Parts will be inserted as main parts. Click |
|
|
Derivation of parts through cloning and rotating a 3-D sketch about an axis lying in the screen plane. Parts will be inserted as main parts. Click |
|
|
3-D part that is created by placing cross-sections on 3-D guidelines. Parts will be inserted as main parts. Click |
|
|
Standard bodies like cuboids, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres etc. |
|
|
Dummy part which can be used for the structuring of a drawing. In contrast to the Assembly function, however, these dummy parts have special efficient properties with respect to itemisation and identical part search, BOM creation and use of HELiOS. Parts will be inserted as main parts. Click |
|
|
Use this function to insert referenced parts that already exist in the drawing as new parts. In contrast to other insertion functions for referenced parts, the new part will not be saved as a referenced part in the part structure of the current drawing, but only in the feature log. There, a feature with the name Dependent part will be created. Non-referenced parts with a HELiOS part master can also be inserted with this function. |
to open a menu with further functions. 
You can also insert the above parts via the context menu for the drawing (insertion as main part) or the context menu for parts (insertion as sub-part).
Insert part
You can also insert parts from other files as main parts or sub-parts into the current drawing. These files can be HiCAD drawing files, HiCAD variants, or HiCAD part files. You can find the corresponding functions in the Insert Part function group of the Drawing tab.
