This task shows you how to customize Product Structure settings, that are divided in five sections: | |||||||
Part Number |
|||||||
Defining the Default Part Number of
the Component to be Imported
Check Manual input if you wish to assign the name you wish to the component you insert into the assembly.
Note that this panel is not displayed by the "New From" command since a precise copy must be produced and therefore no modification, like adding a geometrical set or an ordered geometrical set, should be performed. The panel can be displayed by selecting the Manual Input setting. This will enable to modify the part name generated by the New FROM command. |
|||||||
Low Light Mode |
|||||||
Selecting the Low Light Mode of the component that does
not belong to the active level
If you check the Low Light Mode option and select (double-click) a component in a CATProduct, it becomes UI Active (highlighted) in the Geometry Space: |
|||||||
The second example shows that the operation is also
possible with Models.
This is a visualization mode : the selected element remains highlighted and the other geometric components are in low light (gray-colored). If you double-click on another element, it immediately becomes highlighted and the other ones are dimmed. |
|||||||
Model in BOM |
|||||||
Describing the model file in the Bill Of Material
|
|||||||
Select the Model In BOM option in order to have
access the Models' information (path name for instance) in the document's
BOM.
These Models have been inserted into a CATProduct and you can now visualize the Models' path name. You can find the original directories in which the models were stored. When there is a broken link, you can read the following expression : "Unretrieved document". |
|||||||
Reframe mode after insert existing component |
|||||||
Reframe Mode after insert existing component
Check the Reframe Mode options you need. In the following examples, Global reframe has been selected. CRIC_FRAME.1 has been inserted into Product6 and a different Reframe Mode has been selected beforehand. The original CATProduct looks like this: |

|||||||
Customizing the Specification Tree
|
|||||||
To display the Constraints, Parameters and Relations,
you need go to the Tree Customization tab.
To modify the setting Automatic expand, you need to select the Tools > Options > General > Display category and the Tree Manipulation tab: |
