Objects
You can manipulate two or more objects on the build tray, at the same time.
• Selecting multiple objects
Manipulating done to one object affects all selected objects. For example,
turning one object on its axis causes all selected objects to turn on their
respective axes.
• Converting the objects to an assembly
Separate objects become parts of one unit. For example, turning the
assembly on its axis causes all its component parts to turn as one unit.
To convert objects to an assembly:
1. Select the objects (see "Selecting Objects" on page 5-21).
2. From the
Object
menu, select
Group to Assembly
.
In the model tree, the objects now appear as children of a parent
(assembly).
Figure 5-50 Assembly in the model tree
After creating an assembly, you can save it as an
objdf
file, for re-use. (Saving
the assembly is not necessary for manipulating and printing it.)
To save an assembly:
1. Select the assembly (either on the build tray or in the model tree).
2. From the Objet Studio Commands menu
,
select
Save As
.
3. In the
Save As
dialog box, select the
objdf
format, choose a location, name
the file, and click
Save
.
