Cams
Martyr parts and tools creation
In the case of cam component creation, two assembly’s levels can be used if a sub-component can be interchange
(for example with different case height). In this case, the tools have to be created in the final cam assembly file.

Note: It’s possible to create additional key point in this component to place it manually easier (for example on the
case top).

Dowel TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation
Dowel
Martyr parts and tools creation
If there are sub-components in the dowel component, the tools have to be created in the dowel final file.
Two tools have to be created in the component :
- Name: lower_drilling Designation : Lower drilling
- Name: upper_drilling Designation : Upper drilling

Screw
Martyr parts and tools creation
If there are sub-components in the screw component, the tools have to be created in the screw final file.
Note: During screw insertion with the function Wood > Screw, the tools to apply on the two parts to assemble
can be select in a drop-down list.
However, the first tool in the list is selected by default to machine the first part to assemble and the second tool
in the list is selected for the second part to assemble.
Note: During using a screw in the function Automatic assembly or Include standard, all the tools will be realized
on the parts.
So the created tools have to correspond to the parts to machine.
Remark: Only the first part has to be machine. So tool2 will not contain any operation.

Martyr parts and tools creation
If there are sub-components in the lens component, the tools have to be created in the lens final file.

TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation Assembly kit
Assembly kit
Simple assembly kit
The simple assembly kit allows creating an assembly component composed
of several assemblies’ elements.
For example, it can be composed of one cam and two dowels or one screw
and two dowels.
Start the function Wood > Define > Define assembly template.
Select the option Creation.
Note: The Template definition wizard opens.
Select in the pictures the component to add in the kit : Dowel, Cam, Lens or Screw.
Then select the standard component to include in the kit and validate with OK.
Note: The kit’s components are added in the list.

Assembly kit TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation
Rule with the columns X position and Y position the offset of each component from the kit center.
Select a component in the list and use the button Remove to delete a component from the kit.
Note: The drop-down list BOM allows ruling the assembly mode to rule his displaying in a BOM:
- Kit: Corresponds to the Unitary mode. Unitary. Only the kit’s line will be displayed in a BOM.
- Kit + components: Corresponds to the Sub-assembly mode. The kit’s line and the component’s lines will
be displayed in a BOM.
- Components: Corresponds to the Content mode. Only the component’s lines will be displayed in a BOM.
Use the button Save standard template to save the kit in library.
Use the button Edit standard template to edit a kit in library.
Use the button Quit to quit the Template definition wizard.

TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation Assembly kit
It’s possible to create additional driver parameters in a kit like the parts thickness. These parameters will be asked
during the kit using.
Create a length parameter:
- Name: th
- Designation: Thickness of the parts to assemble
Define the parameter th (and the other additional parameters) as driver.

Assembly kit TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation
Note: To simplify the kit creation, a rectangle representing the assembly face will be created.
Create a rectangle with a length of l and a width of th.
Note: it’s possible to create several key points in an advanced kit; the first in the list will be the selected by
default.

TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation Assembly kit
Save this kit in library with the function Assembly > Define component > Edit save template > Save standard
template.
Start the function Wood > Define > Define > Define assembly template.
Select the option Advanced.
Select Define drivers.
Note: The driver definition in an advanced kit allows ruling the length assembly parameter.
Set as Define furniture depth: l and validate with enter.
Select Define set and Characteristics.
Define the set designation and the kit assembly mode.
Validate the kit with OK, save and close the document.

Assembly kit TopSolid’Wood: Wood components creation
A simple or advanced kit is used with the function Wood > Other processes > Multi-component.
Like all the assemblies process, the face have to be selected :
- Support face
- Start face
- Centering face + Distance or Parallel face
- Terminate face.
In the case of a Simple kit, it’s possible to propagate it with the option Propagation = YES.
Note: The advanced kit with be dimension depending of the assembly length. So it is not propagated.
To insert an advanced assembly kit, select the picture Non linear assembly kit.
Then select the advanced assembly kit in library.
Give a centering mode for this kit (normally Centered thickness).
Note: The advanced kit with be dimension depending of the assembly length. So it is not propagated.
