• Reset offsets during the new extruded bar creation:

When this option is checked, the offsets values are reset to zero during the inclusion of a profile.

When this option is unchecked, the previous offsets values are kept during the inclusion of a profile.

• Length measure:

Allows to choose if the length for profile during measures is on axis or overall or extended.

Calculation of extruded bar length with Length on axis mode or Extended length mode works if the end faces are flat. If the extruded bar is cut by a curve for example, use the Overall length mode for an enclosing box calculation.

• Trimming angles measure:

Allow to choose the trimming angle measure method. The Angle mode is the old mode (before TopSolid 7.9 SP7), the new mode is now Angles and Orientations and is set by default.

To activate this option on old assemblies document, just regenerate them.

• Drag and drop:

This option allows you to choose the command to launch (Assembly > Inclusion... or Modeling > Extruded bar...) during the drag and drop  from the project of an extruded bar previously included.

• Ctrl + drag:

This option allows you to choose the command to launch (Assembly > Inclusion... or Modeling > Extruded bar...) during the Ctrl + drag of an extruded bar.

• Part creation method:

Allows you to choose whether to create a derived part or a local part when including of an Extruded bar.

The template document used for derived extruded bars will also be used for local parts.

Working in a local part brings a considerable gain in performance (opening/closing of documents, refreshing, saving, checking-in, adding extruded bar, importing/exporting packages, TopSolid file size, package size, ...).

Please note that some operations are incompatible with the local parts:
