About Component Options
From the dialog box in which you confine a component, select or clear the following check boxes when you place a component:
• Pattern for all models—Adds the new component to each instance of the owner of the first placement reference.
• Pattern for all instances—Places the new component on each instance of a reference pattern of the first placement reference.
• First cut in face owner— The cutout UDF defined on first position will be added to the owner model of the first surface selected as placement reference.
• No Cutout—No cuts are generated.
• No Component—The component is not assembled.
• Predefine Component—The component can be predefined in part mode, to be assembled later in the main assembly.
 |
When the Predefine Component check box is selected, component data is saved with the reference group. Click >  Assemble predefined components to assemble the component later. |
• Copy Drawings—If a drawing template exists for the current component, you can copy this drawing template together with the part or the assembly file.
|
|
The option Copy Drawings is automatically selected if a drawing template exists and the component type is listed in the configuration option EMX_CHECK_DWG_TYPES.
|
• Add additional chamfers to edges—Selecting this option adds additional chamfer features to edges within the cutout UDFs.
To set chamfer size rules, go to > 
Options > .
Options > .The default value for Add additional chamfers to edges is defined using the configuration option ENABLE_ADD_ADDITIONAL_CHAMFERS_FOR_TYPES.
Tip
With the configuration optionEMX_NO_CUT_PARAM you can specify an integer value for the parameter name. If the value is set to 1, the quilt is not cut.
The option CUT_PLATES_ONLY drives, which components will be cut. If the option is set to YES, only the plates are cut.
If the components with cut quilts are assembled using a pattern and the configuration option PATTERN_CUT_QUILTS set to YES, all cuts are created as a reference pattern. If the option is set to NO, the cuts are added individually for each instance of the component pattern. This is required if instances interfere with a different amount of models.
If the configuration option PROMPT_FOR_CUTTING_PARTS is set to YES, a dialog box displaying all interfering parts opens. You can choose parts for which you want to add a quilt cut.
