Adding Standard Parts to Shafts
In Mechanical Desktop Power Pack, standard parts such as bearings, seals,
circlips, keys, adjusting rings, and undercuts are available. You can select and
insert these standard parts using the shaft generator.
When you insert a standard part on a shaft, the standard part is not con-
sumed by the shaft. You are actually building an assembly. An icon for each
new part is displayed in the Browser under the assembly icon.
