Inserts free semi-finished product outlines, which have been saved previously with the Semi-finished product manager, into the drawing. Already inserted free semi-finished products can also be updated with this command once the saved object has been modified.
When you start the command, the following appears:
New Inserts the selected free semi-finished product into the drawing when you terminate the dialog box with OK. You can use the view buttons to control whether the free semi-finished product is generated as a cross section, 2D projection or 3D bar. The input request depends on the type of insertion.
Update Updates the free semi-finished product to be selected when the dialog box is terminated with OK.
Free semi-finished products can only be updated if they have been inserted into the drawing with the command Apply material outline, because only these semi-finished products are linked to the saved library object.
Free semi-finished products, which have been generated with the Free semi-finished product command, are not referenced to saved objects and cannot therefore be updated.
