• Show process dialog after inclusion:

Including a part or a sub-assembly into an assembly file, in case of the element references only one process document then the process is used automatically. With this option, the process dialog appears before its use (can be useful if you want to use the manual mode of the process).

• Process repetition:

• Assembly: The process is repeated in the assembly. The part contains as many basic operations as numbers of repetition occurrences.

• Parts: The process is repeated in the part. The part contains the basic operation and its repetition. The repeat options of the part document are then available, including the Fast mode.

• Show dialog: The dialog box for selecting the process repeat mode appears after the component is repeated.

Operation on part:

Concerns the part (not synchronized and not local) that are specifically selected by the user (or a component process).

• Mode:

• Automatic: The settings bellow are automatically applied to the modified part during assembly operation.

• Show dialogue: After validating the dialog box of an assembly operation, another dialog box is displayed with the options bellow so the user can decide their setting at the moment.

• Synchronize:

• Yes: This is the classic method. TopSolid create a synchronization between the assembly and the modified part in order to share their operation tree. In the cases synchronisation is not possible (family instance, part already checked-out by another user,...) TopSolid will use the part modification method defined in the next option.

• No: In this mode, no synchronization is created.  For this to be possible, TopSolid need to use another method to modify the part. The other method is selected among the list bellow.

• Part modification method if non synchronized or synchronization not possible:

• Convert to local part: The part is converted into local part before being modified.

• Derive part for modification: The part is derivated before being modified.

Operation on part list:

Concerns batches of parts (defined by operations as repetition or serialization.

• Mode :

• Automatic: The settings bellow are automatically applied to the modified part during assembly operation.

• Show dialogue: After validating the dialog box of an assembly operation, another dialog box is displayed with the options bellow so the user can decide their setting at the moment.

• Part list modification method:

• Convert to local part: The part is converted into local part before being modified.

• Derive part for modification: The part is derivated before being modified.
