13.7 Understanding toolsets in the Assembly module

The Assembly module provides several toolsets that allow you to modify the features that define the assembly. This section describes how these toolsets are used within the Assembly module. The following topics are covered:

“Using datum geometry in the Assembly module,” Section 13.7.1
“Manipulating features in the Assembly module,” Section 13.7.2
“Partitioning the assembly,” Section 13.7.3
“Querying the assembly,” Section 13.7.4
“Creating reference points,” Section 13.7.5
“Using sets and surfaces in the Assembly module,” Section 13.7.6

For more detailed information about each toolset, refer to:

Chapter 40, “The Datum toolset”
Chapter 42, “The Feature Manipulation toolset”
Chapter 44, “The Partition toolset”
Chapter 45, “The Query toolset”
Chapter 46, “The Reference Point toolset”
Chapter 48, “The Set and Surface toolsets”

The Display Group toolset is discussed in Chapter 52, “Using display groups to display subsets of your model.”
