• You can check the box to automatically open the window for inserting a component.
  • You can launch the SmartProperties tool when inserting the component to enter or update its properties.
  • Insert the geometry:
    • If this option is not checked, the component will be inserted without its geometry and will therefore not be visible in the assembly. A virtual component will be created.
    • If this option is checked, the component is inserted along with its geometry. You can constrain it to position it within the assembly. A virtual component will be created and can be hidden or shown as needed.
  • Enter the name of the property to use to retrieve the quantity from the bill of materials. 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.
