Isolate

 

 

 

Links/Videos:

 

 

This command allows to break the link with a linked document like an environment or a background document.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Edit > Isolate... command from the TopSolid button.

 

  1. Select the linked document to isolate.

  2. Validate by clicking .

 

 

  • This operation is irreversible and elements hooked on elements of the isolated document are becoming basic elements. For example, if a sketch is created using a plane of a background document, after isolating, the sketch will be still valid but the support plane of the sketch will be no longer hooked on a geometry.

 

 

By checking the Report isolations option, a Isolations folder is created in the entities tree. It lists all basified entities by this command. The folder can be emptied with the Empty contextual command..

 

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

If the part or the assembly to isolate is a synchronized part or assembly, you have to use the Isolate as contextual command.

If the part or the assembly to isolate has to be replaced by its copy, use the Isolate as and replace contextual command.
