Import Subassembly

The Sub Import 32 X32 Import Sub-assembly function will import the data from a Subassembly and add to the main assembly. The Subassembly from which the data need to be imported have to be opened and updated in 3DCS to import the data successfully.

 

 

Procedure:

1.With the sub-assembly and main assembly files open, make sure 3DCS is active in both.

2.Select the Sub Import 32 X32 Import Sub-assembly icon from the tools tab

3.Now select a Sub-assembly from the main assembly into which the data need to be brought in. 3DCS will ask how to import the data. Select Merge: Add and Update

 

Select one of the three options: Merge, Replace or Append:

•Merge: Existing MTM's, GD&T, circles, slots, points and mesh will be updated with content of a WTX file and new MTM's, GD&T, circles, slots, points and mesh will be added.

•Replace: Delete all existing MTM's, GD&T, circles, slots, points and mesh, then load MTM's, GD&T, circles, slots, points and mesh from the file.  

•Append: Create new tree and attach to active tree as a sub tree. The data will now get imported into the main assembly.

 

Note: When a new Part is created in the Sub-assembly and that data need to be imported into main assembly the user need to Update Model first in the main assembly and then do Import Subassembly to avoid part duplication.
