Approach for assemblies

If an assembly is used, the connection point to be used has to be made known to it (meaning which part with which connection point).

[Note]Note

Up to and including V11 an assembly's part had to be classified accordingly. As of V12 the respective connection point can be made available on assembly level and be classified directly there.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Select the assembly table project (*asmtab.prj) and click the context menu command Open with PARTdesigner.

    -> The assembly configuration is opened.

    The figure shows the connection point intended for the placement.
