This group of functions is used to perform various operations on assemblies and components.

The following functions are available in this group:

Connect Component

Create connections between components by defining constraints.

Cyclic Analyzer

Search for cyclic dependencies with the option of breaking them.

Distribution Layout

Set the Distribution Layout to be used when the current assembly is added to another assembly.

ECO Tree

Display the ECO Tree which manages all ECOs. It displays information from all the ECO sub-assemblies that are under the main assembly, in a single tree.

The ECO Tree provides access to all the Cimatron ECO Tools. These tools provide advanced and reliable analysis, implementation and documentation of an unlimited number of ECO changes at any stage of a job.

Extract by Contour

Extract geometry to a separate file by defining a contour containing the required geometry.

Go To End

Regenerate all components that are in "Insert Mode".

Instance To Part

Convert Instances (parts that exist more than once in the assembly) into independent parts or into another group of instances.

Move/Rotate Component

Move or rotate a component (if it has degrees of freedom).

Project Number

Add a project number to the main assembly and its children.

Rearrange Assembly

Relocate components (parts and sub-assemblies) in the assembly tree.
