Standard parts library

1. Select the insert object.

2. After selecting the object, specify the insertion point for the object.

3. Select the insertion direction (not all parts need to specify a direction vector). The dialog box for selecting object parameters will open.

4. Adjust the options in the dialog box.

   The standard dialog contains the following sections (sections are divided into tabs):

   • Table parameters
   • Properties
   • Dependences
   • Calculations

   Important!

   The composition of the sections (tabs of the insert dialog) is determined by the class of the part, its parameters and the environment of the insert.

   The button "Dynamic input" turns on the mode of visual definition of parameters when inserting.

   

   As you move the mouse cursor, follow the change in the size of the object. LMB click to confirm the selection of the parameter value.

   The "Apply" button allows you to apply the selected parameter values to the object without closing the dialog box. This deactivates the "Dynamic input" mode.

   Important!

   The description given here refers to the standard dialog for selecting parameters. Some objects of the nanoCAD Mechanica 25 base use special dialog boxes. In special dialog boxes, the location of the controls may vary.

   Note:

   If the path to the custom help is specified in the "Help" parameter of the standard part form, it will be called if the focus is on the form control. If the focus is on the "Cancel" or "OK" buttons, the help for standard items opens.

5. Click "OK" to complete the dialog.
