Establishing a Manufacturing Model This segment o! the tutorial will establish the manu!acturing models used within this tutorial. Two models are utili$ed: design art and manu!acturing. The design art model is the art that is to be roduced b% the manu!acturing code generated in this tutorial. The manu!acturing model is the collection o! the design art, assembl% model and the manu!acturing rocesses generated within the manu!acturing ob&ect !ile. Step 1: 'elect FILE >> E!.
