Publishing an Associated Option Set
An option set may be associated to a configurable assembly part, or to the product or library that the part resides in. Also, it is possible to assign choices from the option set to the parts and components in the assembly. When such an assembly is published, the associated option set and its related objects, and the associations between the parts/components and the choices will be published as well, provided the distribution target attribute Publish the Associated Option Set when Publishing an Object has a value Yes. Also published are rules (if any), that may be applicable to the choices being published
