Stock

This command allows to manage the stock properties (name, description, part number and major revision) of a document.

When a part or an assembly is derived, it allows to manage the properties of the derived document and keep the properties of the source document.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select the Tools > Stock... command from the drop-down menu.

The properties management can be done by 4 different ways:

Derivation base document: allows you to get the properties of the document used for the derivation.
Same stock than derivation base: this option is useful when the document has been derived several times (derivation of derivation), it allows you to get the properties of the source document of the derivation.
Document: allows you to select the document from which the properties have to be retrieved (the document should be opened).
Manual: allows you to manually define the properties. In this mode, the Association menu allows the parameters of the enclosing box or enclosing cylinder to be associated with the system parameters Length, Width, Height and Diameter (marged and/or no marged). These parameters will be available in the Parameters > System parameters folder of the entities tree.
Not managed: allows you to delete the stock properties.

When the command is ran in an assembly document, the Occurrence mode allows you to define the stock of the assembly from an inclusion (occurrence) of a part. In this case, a new representation named Stock Representation is created in the entities tree.

These properties are stored in the Parameters > Stock folder of the tree entities and you can get them in an bill of material.

Modifications / Additional information:

Let's take the example of a bracket that we derive for modifications.

The characteristics of the (base) part are:

Name: Bracket
Description: Bracket
Part Number: P-001
Major revision majeure : A

The part is derived once for adding the drillings.

In order to be able to manage its own characteristics, the parameters (name, description, part number) are not herited during the derivation.

The characteristics of the part are:

Name: Bracket with 4 holes
Description: Bracket with 4 holes
Part Number: P-002
Major revision majeure : A

The stock command allows you to get the characteristics of the base document.

The stock characteristics are:

Stock Name: Bracket
Stock Description: Bracket
Stock Part Number: P-001
Stock Major Revision: A

The part is derived twice for adding the chamfers.

In order to be able to manage its own characteristics, the parameters (name, description, part number) are not herited during the derivation.

The characteristics of the part are:

Name: Bracket with chamfer
Description: Bracket with chamfer
Part Number: P-003
Major revision: A

The Derivation base document mode allows you to get the stock's characteristics of the Bracket with 4 holes document.

Then, the stock's characteristics are:

Stock Name: Bracket with 4 holes
Stock Description: Bracket with 4 holes
Stock Part Number: P-002
Stock Major Revision: A

The Same stock than derivation base mode allows you to get the stock's characteristics of the Bracket document.

Then, the stock's characteristics are:

Stock Name: Bracket
Stock Description: Bracket
Stock Part Number: P-001
Stock Major Revision: A

By default, when a document with a stock is derived, the stock of the derived document is created using the Same stock than derivation base mode.
