Fabricate an Assembly
To begin fabrication of an assembly, login to the tablet and select the Fabricate path.
Select the assembly which needs to be fabricated and follow the prompts to change the assembly to the fabricating status.
Fabricate Menu
The fabricate menu allows for viewing of the completed assembly details in various formats:
1. Assembly info
It provides full information of the chosen assembly.
As you can see on the screenshots, it lists the status (i.e. Fabricating), if the assembly is locked, sequence and finish. If there is a comment created for the assembly, it will also be present within this area.

2. Main actions
The fabricate menu allows viewing assembly details in various formats.
Let’s first clarify the difference between the first and the last buttons: Fab-Assist and Auto-Fab.
is the tablet based Augmented Reality (AR) feature that allows you to view the completed assembly and understand how and where the work needs to be performed.
Refer to How to use Fab-Assist for further information.
is the HoloLens based AR feature that uses the tablet as a controller.
So, the main difference between those two, is that Auto-Fab needs a HoloLens.
(2D) and 
(3D) are tablet-based viewers that will help your day-to-day work, giving you access to more information about the assembly and how it fits within the project.

Refer to the article Status for further information.
