FeatureManager Design
Tree Conventions
The FeatureManager
design tree uses the following conventions:
To collapse all expanded
items at once, press Shift+C or
right-click the document name at the top of the tree and select Collapse Items.
(+)
- over defined
(–)
- under defined
(?)
- the sketch could not be solved
No prefix
- fully
defined
Features, parts, and assemblies are preceded by
the rebuild
symbol if a change has been made that requires
the rebuild of the model.
Errors
and warnings are displayed next to part, feature, or sketch icons and
described in tooltips (when the pointer hovers over the item) and in What's Wrong?
- an error in the model
- an error with the feature
- a warning underneath the node
- a warning with the feature
(+)
- over defined
(–)
- under defined
(?)
- not solved
(f)
- fixed (locked in place)
In an assembly,
each instance of the component is followed by a number in angle brackets
<n> that increments with
each occurrence.
Assembly mates are preceded by:
(+)
- involved in over defining the position of components in the assembly
(?)
- not solved
The state of external references
is displayed as follows:
If a part or feature has an external reference,
its name is followed by –>.
The name of any feature with external references is also followed by –>.
If an external reference is currently out
of context, the feature name and the part name are followed by ->?
The suffix ->*
means that the reference is locked.
The suffix ->x means that the reference is broken.
While a drawing view
updates, its icon in the FeatureManager design tree changes to: .
