The ASSEMBLY sample program demonstrates how to construct an assembly
between two products.  An assembly relationship is constructed to
relate the configuration management instances as well as the geometry.
The program is broken down into functions which handle portions of the
complete relationship.  The input file for the program must contain at
least two products with geometry.

 "assembly_in.stp" contains sample input for this program.

 "assembly_out_cdsr.stp" contains the sample output from this program
    with an assembly that uses context_dependent_shape_representation.

 "assembly_out_cdsr.stp" contains the sample output from this program
    with an assembly that uses mapped_item.

The program reads the "assembly_in.stp" data set and saves two
different versions of it called "output_with_mapped_item.stp" and
"output_with_cdsr.stp".  STEP files are text, so you can look at
them with a text editor or right-click "Browse" them with the STEP
Part 21 file browser to see the contents.


BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

We provide Visual Studio project for the program, as well as separate
makefiles for UNIX and Windows.  On UNIX platforms, make sure that the
ROSE/ROSE_INCLUDE/ROSE_LIB environment variables are set as described
in the installation notes.

With the Visual Studio project, compile and run the program using the
normal build mechanism.  To use the makefiles, just run make/nmake as
shown below.

        % make 		# UNIX Machines
        > nmake		# Windows Machines

When building with nmake on Windows, you must run the vcvars32 batch
file (found in the Visual Studio bin directory) to make sure that the
C++ compiler is in the command line search path.
