Using existing information for new resource assembly

Use Create Parent Assembly to quickly build a new tool assembly that is based on an existing cutting tool component.

When you use Create Parent Assembly to create a new tool assembly:

  • The tool assembly is automatically classified in the correct tool assembly class.

  • The selected tool component is added as a child to the tool assembly structure.

  • The propagation start point is assigned to the cutting component.

  • The tool assembly is saved to the database. The cutter attribute values, such as the cutting diameter, corner radius, or tool material, are visible at the assembly level.
