Assembly Design Commands and Tools

Commands


Icon	Command	Description
	BMNEW	Creates a new mechanical block as a new drawing file.
	BMMECH	Converts the current drawing into a main mechanical block.
	BMINSERT	Inserts an existing mechanical block into the current drawing.
	BMINSERT	Inserts an existing mechanical block into the current drawing with automatic resizing of the new part and connecting it to the parent part.
	BMHARDWARE	Opens the Library panel.
	BMFORM	Creates a new mechanical block and insert it into the current drawing.
	BMCONNECT	Connects 2 Piping standard parts by creation of 3D constraints between their connection entities.
	BMREPLACE	Replaces a component insert.
	BMLOCALIZE	Switches external components to local components.
	BMEXTERNALIZE	Switches local components to external components.
	BMOPEN	Opens the source drawing of an external mechanical block.
	BMOPENCOPY	Opens a copy of a component insert as a new drawing.
	BMDISSOLVE	Dissolves a mechanical block inserted into the current drawing.
	BMLINK	Changes target 3D solids of component-based features.
	BMUNLINK	Breaks the connection between a component insert (e.g. a Window) and a 3D solid (e.g. a Wall) retaining the opening.
	BMHIDE	Hides a mechanical component or subcomponent in the current drawing.
	BMSHOW	Shows a previously hidden mechanical component or subcomponent in the current drawing.
	BMVSTYLE	Applies a visual style to a mechanical block.
	BMBALLOON	Creates associative balloon entities for assembly components in Model Space and for their generated views in a Paper Space layout.
	BMBALLOON	Allows automatic placement of associative balloons on all components in a particular drawing view in a Paper Space layout.
	BMBOM	Inserts the Bill-of-Materials (BOM) table in the current drawing.
	BMMASSPROP	Computes mass properties for the current model using densities assigned to its components.
	BMUPDATE	Reloads all referenced mechanical blocks from external files and update BOM tables.
	BMUPDATE	Reloads all selected referenced mechamocal blocks from external files and update BOM tables.
	BMEXPLODE	Creates an exploded representation for an assembly by moving components to make them all visible, store it in a new block, and insert the block in Model Space.
	BMEXPLODEMOVE	Moves selected parts to form an exploded representation in a given direction, taking into account possible physical collisions between components (similar to the Linear option of the BMEXPLODE command).
	BMTRAILINGLINES	Creates all necessary trailing lines for the selected parts.
	MECHANICALBROWSEROPEN	Displays the Mechanical Browser panel.
	PARAMETERSPANELOPEN	Displays the Parameters Manager panel.
	BMDEPENDENCIES	Lists all files in the command window, containing component definitions inserted in the assembly.
	BMRECOVER	Recovers a broken mechanical structure.
	BMUNMECH	Converts the current mechanical block into a plain drawing.
	BMXCONVERT	Convert X-Hardware solids in the current drawing into mechanical components.
