3.5.4.  Insert model (2D) from the standard and purchased parts library

The following describes how to insert 2D individual parts from the standard and purchased parts library [Standard and supplier parts library] into your CAD system.

  1. In the PARTsolutions menu, click Insert model [Insert model]. [8]

    -> The view changes to PARTdataManager.

  2. Select the desired component in the part selection [Part selection]. [9]

    PARTdataManager - Parts selection [Part selection]

    PARTdataManager - Parts selection [Part selection]

  3. Specify the desired characteristic in the parts view [Part view].

    PARTdataManager - Parts view [Part view]

    PARTdataManager - Parts view [Part view]

  4. Creating the 2D derivation

    You have the following options:

    1. Click the 2D Derivation [2D derivation] button.

      -> The 2D derivation docking window opens.

      PARTdataManager - 2D view

      PARTdataManager - 2D view

      Select a view.[10]

    2. Alternatively, you can Calling up the 2D view [2D view] and go directly to CAD Transfer [Transfer to CAD] click.

      The Select view to be transferred [Choose view to pass...] dialog box then opens.... [Choose view to pass...]

      Select view to be transferred... [Choose view to pass...]

      Select view to be transferred... [Choose view to pass...]

      Select the desired view.

      [Note]Note

      The behavior depends on the setting under PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings... -> Transfer to CAD [Export to CAD] menu

      PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings...

      PARTdataManager -> Extras menu -> Settings...

      If the Always ask if multiple options are available [Always ask, if more than one alternative exists] option is selected, the Select view to pass... [Choose view to pass...] dialog box appears in every case. in every case.

  5. Click on the button (option a) or confirm with Transfer [Commit] (option b)You can also use [11]-> The view switches back to the CAD system.

  6. Insert the component or assembly using the placement method of your CAD system.

[8] With AutoCAD, for example, Insert by default model [Insert model] displayed. Whether used in CAD 2D or 3D mode depends on whether the 2D derivative is previously created in PSOL became. The config can be used to switch to the button display to Insert 2D.

Also note the setting under PARTdataManager -> Extras Menu -> Settings... -> Transfer to CAD. [Export to CAD]
