Command input:
ath_bar_work1
Sets associative processes on a bar or a bar projection.
An associative process can be an ATHENA Extrusion or a Drilled hole. The attachment of the associative process occurs in the drawing. If required, you can edit the rules of arrangement.
When you execute the command, the following appears:
Input request 
Select bar or [?]:
Select the bar which you want to process.
Select the process
Select objects:
Select the processing outlines to attach them associatively to the bar.
This input request is repeated until you terminate the command by pressing the Enter key.
The processing of mullions is carried out directly. In doing so, the selected processing outlines are combined to an assembly which processes the bar (drills, notches...). The original processing outlines are removed. You can process the assembly with the Assembly Manager.
The processing is saved on the bar. A change of position by moving the bar or the processing outline in the drawing environment is not possible.
With the command Apply arrangement you can change the position of the processes or expand them using rules. You will find further information in the section Apply arrangement.
