Assemblies When all the parts have been built or imported, assemblies can be created. Any part that is selected on the screen or in the structure browser will become part of the new assembly. Any part not originally included can be added simply by dropping its icon in the structure palette onto the new icon representing the assembly. An Intellishape's handles can still be edited as usual, except it takes an extra mouse click to select it, as the first click now gets the assembly, the second the part and then the shape. With a fourth click, the face gets selected and direct face modeling is possible.
Parts can be easily dragged out of assemblies and sub-assemblies are possible.
An assembly can also be split into separate files and worked on by different users. Once the assemblies are complete, production drawings can be started. IronCAD includes 15 predefined sheets of different sizes and layout. Once these are in place, other views such as sections and details can be added. Changes made to the assembly are not updated until that option is picked in the drawing mode.
