Prerequisites for Asset Chaining

To make sure assets are populated into the layout with the correct size, the asset models that represent both straight and curved chain segments must have the parameters defined in the Asset Chain Builder tables, which are set as key parameters in Inventor or AutoCAD in advance. The parameters must then be mapped properly between Model Key Parameters and Segment Parameter Names.

In the following example, the straight asset Cable Cover is used to represent the straight segment of the chain. The Width, Height, and Length parameters of the model are mandatory and must be set as Key Parameters in Inventor o AutoCAD. When populating the 2D asset chains with their Inventor 3D equivalents, the Model Key Parameter receives the value from the mapped Segment Parameter Name to create asset components within Inventor.
