Packing or unpacking structure lines

Grouping multiple identical components in one level of an assembly is known as packing. You can pack components if they satisfy all of the following requirements: They have the same item revision. They have the same find number. None have variant conditions or they all have the same variant condition. For example, if a bicycle designer is working on a wheel hub design, it is time-consuming to negotiate 50 individual spokes within the wheel assembly, if each spoke is identical except for its position. All that is necessary is a Spoke x 50 entry.

Note A customizer can use an ITK function to register a different algorithm for packing criteria.
