Creating multiple components

j.preston.6 — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 16:40:44 GMT

Is it possible to import a list of components instead of having to create each one individually? Something similar to how parameters can be imported from a spreadsheet would be very helpful.

Thanks,

There is a process you can use to get "close" to what you are speaking of. You can use the Insert Derived command to select any number of components from an other assembly (ies) you desire. Normally, you will not want to maintain the derived link so click on the timeline and Break Link. I agree the results are not traditional components, they are Base Features but you can still edit them is needed but normally this process can be used to bring in stock components that do not change.

That is a useful concept if the components have been previously created in another file. I am starting a new design and created a list of components I will need and was hoping to import that list into Fusion.
