About setting up custom parts for alignment

Before setting up custom parts for alignment, first ensure that they are qualified as engineering parts so that the custom parts also inherit the alignment properties along with other part properties. Next, set up the custom part for alignment as follows:

• (Optional) Specify if a corresponding design is required for the custom part by creating a persistent property, if it is not available already.
• (Optional) Specify if the corresponding design must be automatically created when the part is created by defining a runtime property, if it is not available already.

You may skip the above steps if you created custom parts and custom designs from the default part and design business objects.

Next, enable the display of the persistent and runtime properties.

After setting up custom parts for alignment, you must configure the generation of the corresponding design structure.
