Multibody - External Copy Geometry (ECG) and body attribute propagation
Hi all,
as this came up in several threads, let me add a consolidated post here referring to External Copy Geometry (ECG) and body attribute propagation. The questions here are mostly related to the logic of the propagation options for bodies (and also other objects)
Note that the ECG has settings within its option panel to control the propagation of parameters.
This includes several aspects ranging from appearances to body names and more, and it also includes an option to propagate the construction body attribute. It also depends on whether an external body/or bodies are added "as is" or being merged into the existing body in the part.
Here is how the options look like:
Some questions had been raised for example about how the construction yes/no option works when a body is brought via ECG from a source model to a target model, initially with that option checked and then unchecked during Edit-Definition of the ECG.
The answer to that is that this optio
