Description

Use this to create your own assemblies, such as B. composite supports. You can assemble the assembly from your own components and catalog components and describe them in more detail in a dialog.
The drawing is then saved in a specific folder and is then available in the item list for use in other drawings.

Your own assemblies are displayed in the material list on a separate tab and are also included in the reports.
