Filtering Rows in the Stacking Management

This task shows you how to filter rows on their attributes from the table of the Stacking Management dialog box.
Active filters give access to
  • Multiple Row Edition
  • Cut Row
  • Select Row from Cell
  • Export current Table.
Open a document with a stacking.
 

  1. Under Filters, click Rows...
    • The Filters dialog box opens.
    • Filters apply to all the entity levels.
    • The content of the dialog box varies with the level.
    • A column that is not displayed cannot be filtered.
    • A displayed column that has been filtered cannot be hidden.

  2. Enter the values of the required filters.
    • Part Number, with possible multi-selection (Selected elements are concatenated in a chain with + separator).
    • Plies Group, with possible multi-selection
    • Sequence
    • Ply
    • Cut-Piece
    • Material ID
    • Orientation Name
    • Rosette
    • Surface
    • Draping
    • Core Sample.

    Filters can be managed on the entity parent level:

    • Part Number+Plies Group filter is available for Sequence level
    • Part Number+Plies Group+Sequence filter is available for Ply level
    • Part Number+Plies Group+Sequence+Ply filter is available for Cut-Piece level.

    As a result:

    • ON becomes available and is selected.
    • The table is updated accordingly.
    • The filtered columns are marked with (*).

  3. To create a multi-objects filter on one entity, do one of the following:
    • Use multi-selection (Part Number and Plies Group only).
    • Enter several names separated by + (All filters).
    • Combine both (Part Number and Plies Group only).

  4. In the 2D viewer, select OFF to de-activate the filters.
    • All the information is displayed again.
    • The filters are kept.
    • ON is still available.

  5. Click Apply Filters to activate filters that have not been automatically activated
    or to re-activate filters that have been put off from Stacking Management dialog box.

  6. Select Reset All Filters.
    • All the information is displayed again.
    • The filters are reset.
    • ON is no longer available.

  7. You can switch filters on and off during a selection. For example:
    • The filters are not activated, the entities of all orientations are displayed.
      Select one entity with a 45 orientation.
    • Activate the filters to display only entities with a 90 orientation.
      Select several entities with this orientation.
    • De-activate the filters and select an entity with a -45 orientation.
    • The final selection consists of all the entities you have selected, within the filters or not.
