General Attributes

Use the Tasks > General Attributes pane of the Parts Family window to add the general attributes of the GPART element.

The name, type, subtype, description and comment attributes are required, refer to Catalog Sections (SECT and STSEC) and Categories (CATE and STCA) for further information.

For the GPART not to be referenced in the Model, deselect the Allow References from Model check box (by default this is selected).

If the check box is not selected, when Navigate to 3D Model is selected, the currently selected GPART in the Part Family window is not identified in the database hierarchy displayed in the Catalog Explorer, an Error message is displayed.

Use the Attributes of GPART to fully define the component part in one place without the need for a specification, refer to Component Parts and General Part Element for further information.

Use the standard Track CE check box to allow the window to follow the currently selected element in the Catalog Explorer.
