User can create a new spool.


In the Spool Manager tab:

  • Enter a Prefix for the spool.
  • Enter a Number for the spool.
  • Click the “New” button.


  • With the Spool Manager dialog open, select the elements in the model view to add to the spool.
  • Use the Options bar to select Multiple elements, Finish, or Cancel your current action.

  • Click Finish will create the spool with the selected elements in your active view.


Notes:
  1. If a pre-selection was found in the view before clicking New in the Spool Manager, those selected elements will be used, otherwise, you will be prompted to select and click finish to complete the selection. 
  2. If the selected elements are valid, a new spool will be created, added to the list, status set to "Assembled", and the Number field will be incremented to the next available number.


Tip: 

  1. You can highlight one of the existing spools in the list to quickly update the Prefix and the Number fields to the next available spool number with the same prefix.
