Derived

1. While in a Part Studio, click .

   A list of Part Studios in this document and their features appears.

If the list is lengthy, use the Search box to search for a Part Studio or feature by name.

2. You can select Current document and derive from a different version, or you can select Other documents and select from their features and parts (shown below).

   

   You can select from other documents only if that document has one or more versions. A notice is displayed regarding the state of the document: if no version exists or if a newer version exists, with an option to create a version immediately if necessary. See Linking Documents for more information.

3. Use the filters and search bar to find and select a document.
   1. You can search by part/assembly name and other properties, including Custom properties.
   2. Search accepts multiple words as well as non-alphanumeric characters, such as punctuation.
   3. The filter to the left of the Search bar shows common properties (or all properties) to search by. You are able to use more than one filter at a time.
   4. Each search result indicates which type of entity fulfills the search criteria by the icon preceding the name, followed by the name of the entity. Below that, the workspace or version icon, the document name and workspace name (or version name, when part of the search criteria), the part number, and the release management state (shown below).

   

4. Select one or many features of that document.
5. Click .

If you have derived a part (or sketch) from another document, a linked icon appears next to the Derived feature in the Feature list to indicate that it is linked to another document.

When a newer version of the document from which you derived the part is created, the link icon in the Feature list highlights in blue, and an identical icon appears on the Part Studio tab.

See Linking Documents for more information on linked documents and how to update them.

When inserting a part derived from another Part Studio, you have the option to search for parts that have been released. The icons in the second row of the dialog (below the Other documents filter) can also help you find the parts you are looking for:

From left to right, filter for released parts, create a new version, view the version graph

Use the icon to find parts that have been released (within the selected document):

When you have inserted a released part for a derived part, the feature icon represents that it is a derived feature and the release icon indicates it is a released part:

• You cannot select a derived feature for insertion more than once in the same operation. You can, however, reopen the Derived dialog and insert the same derived feature an additional time. For example, if you want two of the same part in the target Part Studio, you must select the part once, close the Derived dialog, then reopen the dialog and select the part a second time.
• You can swap out one derived feature for another one, even if the second derived feature is in a different Part Studio:
  • In the target Part Studio, simply double-click the Derived feature to open the Derived dialog. (Or right-click on the feature in the Feature list and select Edit.)
  • Select a new document, if necessary, or Part Studio and then the feature to insert.
  • Click the checkmark to accept your selections and close the dialog.
  • Note that subsequent features may fail - check your Part Studio and make any necessary adjustments.

• After selecting a sketch you can use that sketch to perform an extrude in the target Part Studio. In the parent Part Studio, when you make a change to the sketch, such as a dimension, the change is reflected in the target Part Studio. You are able to use the sketch in many Part Studios as a derived feature. Then in each Part Studio, continue with varied designs.

• Derived features have a one-way correspondence: from the parent Part Studio to the target Part Studio. When you change the feature in the parent Part Studio, the change is reflected in the target Part Studio, but not vice versa.
• This feature does not accept circular references. For example, when inserting a feature from Part Studio A to Part Studio B, you cannot insert any feature from Part Studio B to Part Studio A. The operation will fail due to the circular reference attempted from Part Studio A to B to A again.

  

• The visibility setting of a part is irrelevant when inserting a derived part - derived parts are always visible when they are inserted, regardless of what their setting is in the original Part Studio (workspace or version).

1. While in a Part Studio, select the Derived tool.

   

   A list of Part Studios and their features appears. If the list is lengthy, use the search box to search for a Part Studio or feature by name.

2. Tap to select from the list.
3. Optionally, select Browse documents to view Part Studios of other documents. Use the filters to find and select a document, and then select one or many features of that document.

You have the ability to select from other documents only if that document has one or more versions. A notice is displayed regarding the state of the document if no version exists or if a newer version exists. If no version exists, tap to create a version in that document.

1. Tap the checkmark.

If you derived a part, it is listed in the Parts list (under the Features list) where you can toggle the eye icon to hide/show that part.

If you derived a sketch, you can toggle the eye icon next to the derived feature (in the Features list) to hide/show that sketch.

If you have derived a part (or sketch) from another document, a linked icon appears next to the Derived feature in the Feature list to indicate that it is linked to another document.

When a newer version of the document from which you derived the part is created, the link icon in the Feature list highlights in blue, and an identical icon appears on the Part Studio tab.
