Associate physical materials with stock materials
Link physical materials to a stock material so they share the same tooling recommendations.
For example:
| Stock material | Physical materials |
|---|---|
| Stainless Steel | Stainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 316, Stainless Steel 17-4 PH, Stainless Steel 440C |
