In Place Part

 

 

 

This command creates a part directly in the assembly by using the geometries of the surrounding parts.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select Modeling > In place part... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select a part template.

  2. Validate.

 

The parts of the assembly become transparent, they act as support or anchor points for the sketches and shapes of the part designed in place.

 

 
  • After clicking In place part and in order to sketch directly on the right plane, select the sketch support face BEFORE starting the sketch.
  • When a document is in error, it is possible to create an in-place part, an in-place assembly, a local part or a local assembly. This allows, for example, to repair it without basifying all operations in error. You will simply have to reconnect them to the new part or assembly you have created.

 

 

Once the in place part has been created, it must be validated by clicking the In Place Editing button situated in the center at the top of the graphic display.

 

 

Additional information:

 

In the project tree, the part in place is directly attached to the assembly in which it was created.
