• When a user IPA’s into a sheet metal part, they can quickly select the new
“Tab” command (action-object) to create a tab from the same selection types
(single, chain, face) that we previously discussed.
• The advantage of this is a user can now quickly create a sheet metal tab by
selecting a face from another part without having to create a sketch.
• Open “Slider.asm” from the “SM Tab” folder
Tab Command while In Place Activated
Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved.
Page 29 Siemens PLM Software
• Previous to ST6, the user would have to first draw a sketch (object-action)
before a tab could be created.
• The “Tab” command QuickBar provides quick access to tab options.
• The user will be able to select Single edges, Chain edges,
or use the Face option.
• Fence select only works for edges with the “Single” option.
• With the “Face” option, the user can choose
to include or exclude internal loops.
• QuickBar also provides the “Material Table” for the first tab created.
Tab Command while In Place Activated
Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved.
Page 30 Siemens PLM Software
• When a user IPA’s into a sheet metal file, they can
select the “Tab” command which defaults to “Face”
select mode.
• Using the default mode which is “Include Internal Loops”,
and then selecting a face which in this case has 2 holes,
the results will be a tab with those holes added to the tab.
• Obviously the material properties can be changed, but this gives the user very
fast results.
Tab Command while In Place Activated
Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved.
Page 31 Siemens PLM Software
• The next option to “Exclude Internal Loops” gives the user
an option to leave out the internals holes/cutouts.

other bodies as well as faces and regions that are contiguous.
• If a region is selected that is not coplanar
with any previously created sheet metal
walls, then an error message will appear.

Assembly Dynamic Edit
• A user can now dynamically edit ordered features without having to in-place
activate (IPA) into the part/sheetmetal file.
• All features that support dynamic edit in part will support dynamic edit from
assembly.
• This can be achieved by entering face selection mode (ctrl + spacebar) in
assembly, select the feature and then select Dynamic Edit.
• Open “Screw Compressor.asm” from the
“Dynamic Edit “ folder.
Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved.

• Running another command
• Unlike Part the user can only dynamic edit a single feature at a time.
• When multiple part features are selected the dynamic edit user interface is
not shown.
Unrestricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved.
Page 34 Siemens PLM Software
Assembly Dynamic Edit
• Assembly Part Features now
support Sync modeling creation
methods.
• The method to create Sync
modeling operations is to create
ordered features and then move
them to Sync in the target file.

Page 35 Siemens PLM Software
Assembly Dynamic Edit
• Assembly must process three types of Part/SM files (ordered, synchronous,
mixed), so the option to create Sync operations is defined as an “If possible”
setting.
• We will create Sync if possible but
if the part is ordered then the result
will be ordered.
• There is a separate setting for “Rounds” and “Chamfers”.
• With dynamic edit available for both synch and ordered, this becomes a
powerful tool for our users.
