FeatureManager Syntax

How do you distinguish the difference between an assembly and a part in the

FeatureManager? Answer: The assembly icon ~ contains a blue square block and an

upside down yellow ''T'' extrusion. The part icon ~ contains an upside down yellow ''T''

extrusion. Entries in the F eatureManager design tree have specific definitions.

Understanding syntax and states saves time when creating and modifying assemblies.

Review the columns below.

First Column: ~ ~ (f) GUIDE< > (Default<<Default>_ A Resolved component (not in

lightweight ~ state) displays an arrow • icon. The arrow icon indicates that additional

feature information is available. A Drop down arrow ... icon displays the fully expanded

feature list.
