Material - part library

 

Unique code for the part material

 

The material codes are set in the Board library

 

Use the List box for a list of material codes from the board library

 

Also use this code to identify a fitting or operation.

 

MFC18    - part

HB/3     - part

MDF-3/4  - part

         - not defined

+HINGE2  - fitting (hardware)

-OP1     - operation

@MAT@    - @ variable

+HINGE2  - fitting

-PRESS   - operation

 

The code field can also be left blank - which usually means that it is going to be set elsewhere, for example, at the Product using the part. The material can also be defined at the Part library by using a variable instead of a fixed value: e.g. @MATCODE@

 

Fitting (hardware) and Operation codes - If working with products enter a code to identify the item as a fitting or operation on a product. The fitting or operation code is up to 7 characters preceded by a (+) for fittings or a (-) for operations. Also a blank material code can be used (just enter + or -) for fittings or operations if the material code is not used
