Library Features PropertyManager

When you drag a library feature from the Design Library, the PropertyManager appears displaying the name of the library feature. The library feature PropertyManager includes the following:

Placement Plane

Determines if the library feature is on a face or a plane.

If you drag a library feature to a reference plane, the drop point defaults to the center of the selected reference plane.

Configuration

Lists the configurations of the library feature. If no configurations were created, Default is highlighted.

Link to library part

Maintains a link between the library feature you insert, and the parent library feature part. If the parent library feature is updated, the library feature you inserted updates.

You cannot edit the inserted library feature. You must clear Link to library part, and then edit the library feature.

References

Displays when the library feature includes reference dimensions. If no reference dimensions exist, Location is displayed.

Lists the references required to insert and locate the library feature.

References in the PropertyManager operates in conjunction with a preview window in the graphics area. You select the edges on the model corresponding to the edges displayed in the preview window to create the references.

Library features with face references such as fillets do not need reference dimensions.

The Locating Dimensions allow you to specify values to position the library feature.

Select an item under Value to edit the dimension and to change the location of the library feature on the model.
