The command for managing the assembly model
structure. Displays all fragments contributing to the
document as a tree in a special window, or in a text
file (embedded fragments are included).
The current document settings are done by the command
“Customize|Status”, the tab “Preferences”, the button
[Fragment…]. These settings will be applied to the assembly
drawing when using the current document as a fragment. On the
tab “Preferences”, the mode «Dynamic Fragment Editing» used
upon creating and editing a fragment can be turned on. When this
mode is turned on, the variables editing or the fragment
attachment results in redrawing the elements connected to the
fragment. While doing it, preliminary image of the fragment being
