FormedParts

When parts with the forming is imported to the Part Library:

  • Praxis recognizes these parts and tags them with the identified forms by adding the Part-Form pair to the index. These parts can be searched based on tagged forms using the search tool (Search behavior is similar to Bend mounts/used tools).

  • To locate parts with any forms, change the search field to Form count and enter > 0 (greater than 0) in the search textbox. Alternatively, you can also recall Formed parts saved search for this.

Search Forms
  • To locate parts with specific forms, change the search field to Forms and select any item from the dropdown list to list parts using the selected form.

  • Opening the part details shows all forms contained inside the part by highlighting them in the Forms dropdown. The instance count and height w.r.t the contained plane is displayed for these items to give a bit more context

  • In part details, routing pane, Form count is displayed in total (unique) format for the part with forming.
