Create and Load Detail                         

 

Details are collections of drawing elements, gathered and treated as a single unit with properties for stock listing and a Material tab.

With the component elements in the drawing field selected, choose Create Detail from the Actions menu. On the Detail Properties page, give the collection a name in the Description box. Choosing a Category determines which folder on the Parts Tree the detail will be stored in. Various dimensions are available on the Size drop-down.

Use the Detail Material and Listing tabs to include extra materials with the detail and to affix monetary values to it respectively.

Checking the List as a Single Part option keeps the detail collection from being separated into its component parts for stock listing, and treats the collection as one entity instead.

Note:  The Load Detail command will locate, then import an already-saved Detail from a .det or .cad file.
