Use the WAVE Geometry Linker to copy geometry from other parts in the assembly into the work part.
You can create either associative linked objects or non-associative copies. When you edit the source geometry, the associative linked geometry and most of its attributes update.
Note |
Attributes that do not update include display and material property attributes. |
You can:
Link geometry from one component part in an assembly into the same assembly work part.
Link geometry from one subassembly into another subassembly.
Note |
Use the Tools→Update→Interpart Update→Delay Geometry, Expressions, and PMI command to suspend the update of edits to associative links. To update linked objects, choose Tools→Update→Interpart Update→Update Geometry, Expressions, and PMI or Update All. |
All WAVE-linked objects are initially positioned relative to the source geometry and placed on the work layer of the displayed part. Linked bodies are added to the Model reference set in the work part.
Example |
The positional and geometric changes made to the associative mirrored bodies on the left updates with the source geometry on the right. |
