Purpose and description

Use Attach part wizard component to easily attach parts which are already detailed.
Bolts, edge chamfers, welds, and reinforcements associated to an attaching part are lost when the part is attached with the attach part command.
The attach part wizard handles these details for you by reassigning them to the newly formed part so the details are not lost.
