Creating Associations Between Parts and CAD documents
You can create a single or multiple associations between parts and CAD documents.
 |
• When the Calculated association type is specified along with other association types in the request body, the request skips the creation of the calculated association.
• When only the Calculated association type is specified in the request body, the request skips the creation of the calculated association. Because there is no association to create, the request returns the 200 status code.
• The creation of a calculated association is skipped even though you do not have access to the part or CAD document.
