Part Management

---

The Part Management Component (PART), provides basic support for grouping entities into parts and for processing those parts in various ways:

• Grouping entities together as parts
• Getting all entities in the part
• Assigning attribute name/value pairs
• Selecting entities based on attributes
• Loading and saving parts as ACIS save files (SAT files)

Parts are a logical way to collect related entities into assemblies. For example, a hub, spokes, and rim could be grouped together into a part called a wheel. PART provides classes and functions that operate on entities in a part.

Parts can be saved and loaded as standard ACIS save files (SAT files). ACIS files created by other systems can be loaded as parts. A PART instance implements a derivation of the history manager, and roll back is supported. The part also contains a pointer to a RENDERING_MANAGER, generally the PART_CONTEXT object.

Topics include:

• Creating a Part
• Updating a Part
• Viewing Interface to Part Management
• Part Classes
• Part Functions
• Part Attributes
• Scheme Examples of Part Management
