Part References Creation Options

Block

Attaches a Part Reference to a Block. If the block has Block attributes that have the same name as component properties, the Part Reference automatically imports the corresponding values.

Running this option is equivalent to executing the AM_PartReferenceBlock command. See Attaching Part References to Blocks.

Copy

Creates a complete copy of a Part Reference, including its component property data. The copied Part Reference becomes a new BOM item.

Reference

Creates a Part Reference that identifies an object as another instance of a part that already has a Part Reference.

The new Part Reference increases the quantity of the corresponding entry in the BOM instead of adding another line.

Specify the Part Reference from which you want to add another instance.
