  • TraceParts online must be installed on the computer. Its installation is explained in the Miscellaneous chapter of the Installation guide. An account on the TraceParts website has to be used. A license can be needed. All questions about the TraceParts website, its use, its license have to be asked to TraceParts support.

  • Some authorisation to execute JAVA tools or others can be asked and must be accepted.

 

 

 

On the website, select a component then click on the CAD insertion button. If you aren't logged in, your login and password will be asked.

 

The component appears in the TopSolid assembly which is automatically in positioning edition.

 

 

The component is converted and saved in an explicite family with the corresponding code.

  • The library is named "TraceParts + Standard name".

  • The folder uses the decomposed standard name (for example 8140).

  • And the explicit family uses the name of the component.

 

 

The connection to the TraceParts website is still active even if the internet browser is closed. To close this connection, use the Quit TraceParts command.
