The
Part Management Component (PART), in the
part directory, provides basic support for grouping entities into parts and for processing those parts in various ways:
|
|
|
Grouping entities together as parts
|
|
|
Getting all entities in the part
|
|
|
Assigning attribute name/value pairs
|
|
|
Selecting entities based on attributes
|
|
|
Loading and saving parts as
ACIS save files (SAT files)
|
|
|
Parts are a logical way to collect related entities into assemblies. For example, a hub, spokes, and rim could be grouped together into a part called a wheel.
PART provides classes and functions that operate on entities in a part.
|
|
|
Parts can be saved and loaded as standard
ACIS save files (SAT files).
ACIS files created by other systems can be loaded as parts. A
PART instance implements a derivation of the history manager, and roll back is supported. The part also contains a pointer to a
RENDERING_MANAGER, generally the
PART_CONTEXT object.
