Learn how to
- Create a skeleton assembly
- Prepare an assembly for the iCopy Author
- Test the assembly
- Author an iCopy template
Prerequisites
- Know how to navigate model space with the various view tools, and perform common modeling functions, such as sketching and selecting geometry.
- Have a basic understanding of adaptivity and how it affects parts and assemblies.
- Understand the basics of skeleton modeling.
- Review the iCopy Help Concept and familiarize yourself with iCopy terms.
iCopy combines skeletal modeling and adaptivity to allow the subassembly to change shape to fit its position in the model. The iCopy Author command creates an iCopy template from an adaptive skeleton assembly. TheiCopy command creates one or multiple copies of the iCopy template and adds each copy to the target assembly. Each assembly (iCopy result) can vary slightly from other iCopy results in the pattern depending on the adaptivity that was used in the iCopy template.
