• This option can be ticked to automatically launch the window for inserting a component.
  • The SmartProperties tool can be launched when the component is inserted, in order to fill in or update properties.
  • Insert geometry :
    • If this option is unchecked, the component will be inserted without the geometry and therefore not visible in the assembly. A virtual component will be created.
    • If this option is checked, the component is inserted with its geometry. It can be constrained to position it in the assembly. A virtual component is created, which can be hidden or shown as required.
  • Enter the name of the property to be used to retrieve the quantity from the BOM. This property is created in the virtual component. If this property exists in the original component, it will be modified in the virtual component.


 


All properties of the original component are copied to the virtual component.
