Create own assembly

VERSION SCAFFMAX 2021

Description

You can create your own assemblies, such as composite supports. You can create the assembly from your own parts and catalog parts and describe them in more detail in a dialog. The drawing is then saved in a specific folder and is then available as a component for use in other drawings.

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