Command input:
ath_build_list
Creates a structured parts list of positions consisting of main parts, attachments and accessories. These can be 3D bars, 2D projections or any other parts.
Automatic structure
Positions with main parts, attachments and accessories are created automatically when you arrange connector parts and accessories (e.g. screws) on a bar. In this case, the following structure is created:
The bar is the main part.
Connectors are attachments.
Screws are accessories.
This structure is created, for example, by the function Break bar.
Manual structure
You can create a manual structure by forming positions into groups. Groups can also be nested (subgroups included). In this case, the groups specify the structure.
When you execute the command, the following appears:
