“Fragments” Tab
This tab defines the options used in inserting and editing
fragments. Parameters on this tab can also be set from the
fragment parameters modified under the fragment
insertion and editing commands using the [Options…]
button.
Keep Library Names. If set, library names will be saved
on inserting a fragment from a library. Otherwise, the
absolute path of the respective library folder will
substitute the library name.
Optimize File path. If set, the library name or the path
will not be entered in the case the current assembly
document and the respective fragment are in the same
folder. This helps moving both the document and the
fragment file to another folder without changing
folder settings.
Input. This group defines the flags used while assembling fragments:
Create Named Nodes Automatically. This flag defines whether the new nodes will be created on the
current assembly drawing based on the named nodes from the fragments being inserted. The nodes
created from fragments can be used for further construction, dimension placement, etc.
Substitute Variable values. In case this parameter is set, upon the fragments' insertion, their external
variables are automatically set equal to the values, assigned for these variables in the model of the
fragment. Otherwise, the values of the variables are not prescribed.
Edit. Examples of editing fragments:
Double click action. This attribute defines what kind of action occurs on the left mouse double-click
during fragment editing.
Fragment Actuality Check. This group of parameters defines the system behavior when the files are
modified of the fragments that enter the current document (the current 3D assembly), in various situations:
On Open Document. The parameter defines the system behavior upon opening a 3D assembly (if it was
found that a fragment files were modified since the time of saving the assembly). The following choices
can be made from the list: “Update” - the fragments will be updated, “Don't Update” - skip updating
fragments, “Ask” – prompt the user about how to proceed upon finding modified fragments. The default
setting is “Ask”.
On Document Activation. This parameter defines the system behavior upon returning to a document
window (when simultaneously working with multiple T-FLEX CAD documents). In this case, the state of
the current 3D assembly is also checked for the consistency with the fragment documents stored on the
disk. If the check finds fragments, whose documents were modified after the last check, the system will
proceed according to this parameter setting: “Update”, “Don't Update”, “Ask”. The default is “Ask”.
