Samples
| Demote occurence |
This sample demonstrates how to demote a top level occurrence in an assembly into a new sub-assembly occurrence. |
| SurfaceBody Copy |
This sample demonstrates copying a surface body from one part to another. This is equivalent to the Promote command, but the API is much more flexible. In order for the sample to be self-contained, it creates two parts on the fly that will be used to demonstrate copying a body from one part to another. When copying a body into a part, you provide the surface body and a matrix to define its position in the new part. This sample creates a matrix based on the position of these parts within an assembly. |
