App Link/en

Introduction


An App Link, or formally an, is a type of object that references or links to another object, in the same document, or in another document. It is especially designed to efficiently duplicate a single object multiple times, which helps with the creation of complex assemblies from smaller subassemblies, and from multiple reusable components like screws, nuts, and similar fasteners.



Usage

 * 1) Select an object in the tree view or 3D view for which you wish to create a Link.
 * 2) Press the  button. The produced object has the same icon as the original object, but has an arrow overlay indicating it is a Link.

See the Std LinkMake page for the complete information, including its use in Scripting.

Properties
An App Link ( class) is derived from the basic App DocumentObject ( class), therefore it shares most of the latter's properties.
