Onshape allows you to release configured parts and treats each configuration as a unique revisionable object.
To release a configuration directly, set the desired configuration parameters in the Part Studio, then right-click on the configured part and select
Release. The currently active configured part is displayed by default in the Create Release candidate dialog. You are able to choose to release only that configuration or add additional configured parts by clicking the
Plus sign at the top of the dialog to access the Add Items to Release dialog:
This dialog works the same as the Insert parts and assemblies dialog in an Assembly. In the dialog:
- Select and modify the desired configuration parameters to create a configured part.
- Click Generate to build the configured part.
- Click on the newly-generated part to add it to the Release candidate. You can generate and include multiple configurations of each part in a single Release.
- Click Add to finish the workflow and return to the Create Release candidate dialog.
To remove undesired objects from the Release candidate, simply click the red X next to the object.
When you release a configuration (or multiple configurations) of a part, only those specific, released configurations will be available for reuse from the Released version. Other configurations of that part will need to be released separately. Similarly, when you insert a released version of a configured part, you are inserting a specific, released object and will not be permitted to change configuration parameters.
Assemblies containing configured parts
Releasing an Assembly that contains configured parts releases only the specific configurations of each part referenced by the Assembly. No additional configurations are released unless you add them as described above.
