With this function you can load or select an object. This is necessary to transfer the object definition into a dialog box or to assign objects to or interchange them with a component definition.
The call for this dialog box may differ and in each case determines the viewed object type. For each call only one object type is listed and the basic functional features are retained. Examples of calling dialog boxes are Bar assembly manager, Assembly Manager and Infill manager.
Dialog box For object selection
db_ath_obj_select
In the list all objects of the type under consideration existing in the document are listed. With the selection of an object it is displayed in the display section.
Filter Controls the display of objects to provide a more clear representation.
With bar assemblies reference objects are masked out when you activate the filter. With the filter switched off reference objects are identified with a point before the name.
Exception: Reference objects are not masked if they are used in a drawing as a section or bar!
With semi-finished products, including Membrane, Insulation, etc., objects are masked out which cannot be used in the superordinate dialog box. Example: A membrane cannot be used in the Dialog box Insulation, so with an active filter no membranes are shown.
Object < Selects an object in the drawing. For this the dialog box is temporarily closed. The selected object is then marked in the dialog box.
Import ... Opens a standard dialog box for file selection where you can select a drawing (*.dwg, *.dwt or *.dxf) to import the library parts it contains into the current drawing. Once you have selected a drawing, the Dialog box Assembly library Infill is displayed. Here you can select the required parts and import them into the current drawing. You will find further information on this in the Chapter Assembly library.
Label ... Changes the object designation. To do this, the Dialog box Save is opened. You will find further information in the Chapter Saving objects.
Info ... Lists the components of the active assembly. To do this, the Dialog box Component parts is opened. You will find further information in the Chapter Info.
