How to Create a Part

A new part can be created and added to a packet, part or the main vault (if the command was implemented from the home window). Another part can be used as a templates to create new parts and new parts may be controlled by business rules that will determine the release characteristics.

Follow these steps to create a new part:

1. Select the Edit/Create/Part command from the packet, part, or home window. If this option is selected from a packet window, the new part will be added to the currently selected packet. Similarly created parts will be added to the BOM of an existing part if the option is selected from the part window.

2. The Find Part in Class dialog box will be displayed in order to select a part class. Select the part class desired and press return.

3. Next, the Identifier Dialog is displayed with a default ID number for selection.

4. A confirmation screen will be displayed with the assigned part number, revisions state, description, and custom fields that may be different for different classes.

   	- The part will be opened in the create state.
   	To Change a field - move the cursor into a field , click the left mouse button, and edit the entry with the keyboard.
   	Select the icon when your revision is complete.
   	Select the pick list icon next to a field for appropriate options.

5. Next, the part window will be displayed with the created part. Documents and/or parts can be added to the created part and information can be changed by selecting the modify icon or the Edit/Change option. A master geometry document should be specified for the created part.

6. When this window is closed the part with the items specified will be added to the database and will be associated with the packet or part in which the part was created. Or it will be added to the vault if the Edit/Create/Part command was implemented from the home window.
