Extracting Fragment from Assembly Drawing
600
The option serves for creating a new fragment by moving or copying into a separate file already existing
elements of the assembly drawing. Upon the call, the following options appear in the automenu:
Finish Fragment Creation
Select Mode
Deselect Mode
Selector
Assign Fixing Vector
Select Variables for copying into Fragment
Delete or hide selected elements after creating Fragment
Exit command
Fragment extraction is the action opposite to that of the option “Explode Fragment”. To create a fragment,
the user just needs to select a set of graphic elements (lines, dimensions, hatches, etc.) of the assembly
drawing to be carried over into the separate fragment. When creating a fragment, besides the graphic
elements picked in the assembly drawing, their respective construction elements are also created.
The list of elements available for selection is defined by the option , that works similar to the command
“FT: Set Selector Configuration”. The selector settings defined in this option stay active only while
selecting elements for creating the fragment.
The option allows picking the assembly drawing elements, adding those to the contents of the fragment.
(The selected elements are highlighted.)
The option excludes elements from the selected set.
The option toggles between the modes:
• If the icon is in the pushed state, then, after creating the fragment, the elements included in the
fragment are deleted from the assembly drawing. Exception is the parent elements of other elements.
In this case, the system will not delete the element. Instead, it will make it hidden (invisible) by
assigning a special attribute;
• If the icon is not pushed, then the fragment contents are formed by the copies of the selected
elements.
Creation of a fixing vector (the option ) is optional. However, if you need to make a provision for
modifying the attachment of the fragment being created or placing its duplicate at other locations, then you
should perform this step. A fixing vector can be created in one of the ways described above.
