Context Menus 

Main Component context menu

Right click the main component name:

• Update : Updates the hierarchy of mechanical components for the current drawing in case referenced drawing files of sub-components have been modified.

• Visual Style : All by Viewport: Applies the current Visual Style to all components in the assembly (see the ShadeMode command).
  
  

• Switch all to local : Switches all components to internal components (see the BmLocalize command).

• Switch all to external : Switches all components to external components (see the BmExternalize command).

• Add new parameter : Creates a new parameter in the assembly.

• Create exploded view : creates a block with an exploded representation of the current assembly

• Collapse all : collapses the main component and all components and subcomponents.

• Expand all : expands the main component and all components and subcomponents.

Component context menu

Right click a component name.

External components context menu (left), local components context menu (right):

• Open: Opens the referenced drawing (see the BmOpen command).

• Open a copy: Opens a copy of a component insert as a new drawing (see the BmOpenCopy command).

• Update: Reloads all referenced components from external files and updates BOM tables (see the BmUpdate command).

• Replace: Replaces a component insert (see the BmReplace command). Replacing a local insert turns it into an external insert.

• Replace all inserts: Replaces all inserts that refer to the same source (see the BmReplace command). Replacing local inserts turns them into external inserts.

• Switch to local: Switches an external component to an internal component (see the BmLocalize command).

• Switch to external: Switches an internal component to an external component (see the BmExternalize command).

• Set material to component... : Assigns a physical material to local component.

• Removes material from component... : Removes the physical material definition from local component.

• BOM status: Parameter to control the appearance of the component in BOM tables
• Dissolve: Dissolves a mechanical component inserted in the current drawing (See the BmDissolve command).

• Unlink: Breaks the connection between a component insert (e.g. a Window) and a 3D solid (e.g. a Wall) retaining the opening.

• Hide () / Show (): Hides or shows the selected component.

• Exclude all inserts from section: Sets the Sectionable property of all similar inserts to NO. Defines whether an insert is affected by the ViewSection command.

• Visual Style: Displays the Visual Style menu. Visual Styles that are saved in the current drawing are available.
  
  

• By Viewport: Renders the selected component according to the current viewport shademode (see the ShadeMode command).

• All by Viewport: Renders all components according to the current viewport shademode (see the ShadeMode command).

• Zoom to: Zooms to the selection set.

• Select: Selects the component.

• Delete: Removes the selected component and its subcomponents from the assembly.

• Collapse all: collapses the main component and all components and subcomponents.

• Expand all: expands the main component and all components and subcomponents.

Subcomponent context menu

External subcomponents context menu (left), local subcomponents context menu (right):

• Open: Opens the referenced drawing (see the BmOpen command)

• Open a copy: Opens a copy of a component insert as a new drawing (see the BmOpenCopy command).

• Hide () / Show (): Hides or shows the selected subcomponent.

• Exclude all inserts from section: Sets the Sectionable property of all similar inserts to NO. Defines whether an insert is affected by the ViewSection command.

• Visual Style : See Component Visual Style.

• Zoom to: Zooms to the selection set.

• Collapse all: collapses the main component and all components and subcomponents.

• Expand all: expands the main component and all components and subcomponents.

Component parameter context menu

Right click a parameter:

• Link to parameter: Establishes a link between one or more component parameters and assembly parameters.

• Collapse all: collapses the main component and all components and subcomponents.

• Expand all: expands the main component and all components and subcomponents.

Properties 

Main component properties

Click the main component name:

• Name: Type a name for the main component. By default the name of the main component equals the file name.

• Description: Optional description of the main component.

• File: Shows the path and name of the dwg.

• Extension type: Allows to identify the component as a BIM Component or a Sheet Metal Feature.

• Insert as: Select either Internal Component or External Component.

• Sectionable: Defines whether the component is affected by the ViewSection command.

• Standard component: defines whether this component standard or not.
• BOM status: defines behavior of this component in BOM table.

• Material: Material of the main component.
  The Name, Density, and the optional Description are defined in the Physical Materials dialog box.
  Select the Material node, then do one of the following:

• Click the Browse button () to open the Physical Materials dialog and choose a material in the Project or Library list.
  The Density property of the selected material is used by the BmMassProp command.

• Click the Delete button (). The Material field reads <Inherit>.
  When the component is inserted in an assembly, the Material definition is copied from the main component of the assembly.

Component insert properties

Click the component name:

• Name: Type a name for the component. By default the name of the component equals the source file name.

• Component name: Name of the component as defined in the source file.

• Description: Description of the component as defined in the source file.

• Visible: Allows to show or hide the component in the assembly.
  Click the Visible field, then click the down-arrow button and choose Yes or No.
  or
  Double click the Visible field to toggle the visibility of the component.

• Sectionable: Defines whether the component is affected by the ViewSection command.

• Standard component : defines whether this component standard or not.
• BOM status: defines behavior of this component in BOM table.

• Visual style: Allows to control the visual style for the component. By default the visual style is inherited from the viewport.
  Click the Visual style field, then click the down-arrow button and choose a visual style in the list.

• File: Shows the path and name of the referenced dwg.

• Material: Shows the material of the component.
  If the in the material the source file is set to <Inherit>, the material is copied from the main component.
  If the material is defined explicitly in the source file, this material is used.

Subcomponent properties

Click the subcomponent name:

• Name: Name of the component as defined in the source file of the parent component.

• Component name: Name of the component as defined in the source file.

• Description: Description of the component as defined in the source file.

• Visible: Allows to show or hide the component in the assembly.
  Click the Visible field, then click the down-arrow button and choose Yes or No.
  or
  Double click the Visible field to toggle the visibility of the component.

• Sectionable: Defines whether the component is affected by the ViewSection command.

• Standard component : defines whether this component standard or not.
• BOM status : defines behavior of this component in BOM table.                      
• Visual style: Allows to control the visual style for the component. By default the visual style is inherited from the viewport.
  Click the Visual style field, then click the down-arrow button and choose a visual style in the list.

• File: Shows the path and name of the referenced dwg.

• Material: Shows the material of the subcomponent.
  If the in the material the source file is set to <Inherit>, the material is copied from the main component or the parent component.
  If the material is defined explicitly in the source file, this material is used.
