In a drawing, the new ThisDrawing.ModelFactoryDocument property returns the factory document for the first model view (or nothing if there is no model view).In a top-level document, this returns the same object as ThisDoc.Document. In a component occurrence document, this returns the associated factory document. The new ThisDoc.FactoryDocument property returns the factory document when running either in a top-level document or in an assembly component.The ThisDoc.Document property is expanded to support returning the member document when running in a component occurrence of a model state document.ThisDoc.Document support for Model State In a component occurrence of a model state document, the existing ThisDoc.Document property returns the member document.ILogic is expanded to support the following Model State workflows:

Model states in assemblies can be used for configurations, weldment preparation or alternate positions.

Simplification levels for removing intellectual property or high levels of detail before export.

Level of completion for each stage as your design gets assembled.

Alternative assembly positions to quickly switch between them visually or used for drawing views.

Product families that have different values for dimensions or features that are shown or suppressed.

Weldments for weld preparation and other machining operations.

Sheet metal stages for multiple bend operations.

Machining operations from the casted model to the final part.

Model states can be used for the following: Model states are particularly useful for manufacturing processes, families of parts or sheet metal fold operations. The new model states workflow enables users to create multiple presentations of a part or assembly within a single document, producing model state variations with different parameters, components, properties or simplification.
