New Subsystem

(Standard Interface) File → New → Subsystem            Shared Dialog Box
Creates a new subsystem based on an existing template.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Subsystem Name
Enter a name for the subsystem.
Minor Role
Select a minor role.
Template Name
Specify the existing template that defines the topology and default parameters for the subsystem.
Translate from default position
Select if you want to translate the subsystem from the default position defined in the subsystem.
Because of symmetry constraints, you cannot perform a subsystem translation along the y-axis.
If you select Translate from Default Position, your template-based product enables the following two options:
Fore/Aft Translation
Select whether the x-direction translation will occur along the Fore (+x) or Aft (-x) direction. Enter the translation value in the text box next to the pull-down menu.
Up/Down Translation
Select whether the z-direction translation will occur along the Up (+z) or Down (-z) direction. Enter the translation value in the text box next to the pull-down menu.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
■If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
■If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
