You
can create
routing
files, such as the route subassembly and route parts,
as
external or virtual components.
You can create new route subassemblies and route parts as virtual
components. These components are internal to the assembly and are not separate assembly
or part files. You can delete or rename virtual components. You can also save the
virtual components as external to the assembly, and convert external components to
virtual components.
You can set this option in by:
- Clearing Save route assembly
externally.
- Clearing Save route parts
externally.
- Clearing Use automatic naming for
route parts.
Using virtual components is useful for developing concept work in
assemblies, but it is not recommended. This technique limits data management and
reuse.
