Inserting Automatic Parts

You can insert automatic parts. These are parts that are inserted automatically when the application detects an end style configuration that is defined in the automatic part rule. The end styles can be on two parts, or a part and a pipe.

Before you begin:
  • Open a document with the parts between which you need to insert automatic parts. These parts should exist in your catalog.
  • The Generative Piping and Tubing license is needed.
