Assembly Design

New Functionalities

Associativity
This capability allows you to modify CATPart geometry in assembly context without modifying the reference CATPart. The Associativity command results in the creation of a new CATPart instantiated in the assembly, containing a copy obtained by Copy/Paste As Result With Link operation of a chosen geometry from all/ customized components of the active assembly.
Define Variant Generic Product
The Define Variant Generic Product command allows to create a new variant and select the components as per the required configuration.
Instantiate Variant
The Instantiate Variant command allows to instantiate variant generic product from file.
Replace Variant
The Replace Variant command replaces the existing solved by a new variant of another generic product.

Enhanced Functionalities

Add To Associated Part
When the assembly is saved in EV5 after the creation of assembly feature and associated part, the assembly feature is not saved in EV5. In this case, the Add to Associated Part command aids to add bodies from existing/new source parts in the product into the associated Part and maintains their Associatively.
Publication in Associated Part
The Allow publication in Associative Part allows for publication of the pasted bodies in the associated part in case they are published in the source part. When Only Published Features option is selected, only published geometries from the set of selected geometry options or custom list of geometries are imported in the associated part.
Associativity With PRC Context
The context of import of bodies and geometries is PRC. In case of structure exposed mode (mode of the active product), the feature is not created.

Customizing Settings

Redundancy Constraint Check
The option Disable redundancy check allows you to enable/disable the redundancy check performed while constraint creation.
