Re: insert part "transfers" in multi body part

Oh, we have a vocabulary problem. "Axis" and "temporary axis" are two very
different things. A temporary axis is an axis implied by a cylindrical face
on a body. It is a way to select the centerline of a hole, a fillet, etc.
An axis is a "reference geometry" feature. It is a feature in the feature
manager tree.

Surfaces refers to surface bodies, as opposed to solid bodies. If the part
you inserted was only a solic cylinder, then there will be no surfaces to
be inserted into the multi-body part.

It would be a really good idea to look these terms up in the help. Not only
will it clarify this issue, but it will open your eyes to important
concepts used throughout SW. I get the impression you haven't had any
training and may not have done the tutorials. Make sure you do the
tutorials, get training (if you benefit from that sort of thing), and take
time to read through the help. Reading the help after doing the tutorials
is the most direct way to get to know what you're doing with SW. If you're
trying to work on a project, you don't have the time not to.

OK, I can see I am talking to different languages. I am digging into
help area right now. If I put in a rectangular part (not cylindrical)
into mulit body part and I picked "surface" to transfer, what am I
picking or transfering, I am trying to picture what I am trying to
bring into the mulitbody part file when I insert the new part.
