During publication, TopSolid automatically goes into the publication stage.

The name and description of the publication will appear in the Publications folder of the entities tree.

Only the description will appear in the different function menus when using the publication.

During the document use, it is possible to show or hide publishings from the contextual menu.

The hook on a publishing allows the interchangeability. For example, screws use publishings for their positioning. It allows to interchange the type of screw without invalidated the positioning.

To improved the constraints constancy, the hook on publishings type as points, axes, planes and 2d curves has priority even if you click the geometry.
