Ctrl + left-click to select an assembly in the operation

Added the setting to select an assembly with the Ctrl + left-click operation from IRONCAD 2023 or later.
In versions before IRONCAD 2022, this setting works the same as Invalid.

This setting is valid for assemblies that are [assembly properties] → [General] → [assembly expansion in BOM] and [assembly only].


Change settings

Please follow the steps below to change the settings.
Open Menu → Options, expand Interaction, and select Mouse.


[2] If you check [Ctrl + left click Select Assembly], you can set it to "Evalid" and "Disable" without checking.


Please refer to the following for the operation after setting.

Ctrl + left-click to select the assembly, but "enabled"

With the Ctrl key + left-click, select the assembly you set to Do not expand in the assembly property.

Ctrl + left click to select the assembly, but "Invalid"

Ctrl + left click to select a part.


When the data downloaded from the manufacturer is divided into multiple parts and is in one assembly.
If you want to set properties and other settings for the assembly, it is a valid setting.
Notes
If you want to use it the same as the previous version, uncheck "Ctrl + left click Select Assembly" and use it with the settings disabled.
By default, it is enabled.
