Chapter 5 Creating parts for models

Setting up automatic part creation
Part creation from the Model Editor is optional. By
default, automatic part creation is enabled. However, if
you previously disabled part creation, you need to enable
it before creating a new model and part.
To automatically create parts for new models
1 In the Model Editor, from the Tools menu, choose
Options.
2 In the Part Creation Setup frame, select Create Parts
for Models if it is not already enabled.
3 In the Save Part To frame, define the name of the part
library for the new part. Choose one of the following:
• Part library path same as model library to create or
open the *.OLB file that has the same filename as
the open model library (*.LIB).
• User-defined part library, and then enter a library
name in the part Library Name text box.
