Navigating Tree Structures

The reference tree structures maintained by Enterprise PDM are often large and contain many levels. New controls in dialog boxes and Preview tabs make it easier to navigate these structures.

The following navigational aids have been added in Enterprise PDM 2014.

In the Check In, Check Out, Copy Tree, and Change State dialog boxes:

  • A Top Level Only / Show All Levels control lets you show just the highest level of the tree structure or the entire tree structure.
  • Expand EPDM_expand_arrow and collapse EPDM_contract_arrows arrows within the tree structure let you expand or collapse individual nodes of the tree.
  • Next Warning EPDM_next_warning and Previous Warning EPDM_previous_warning arrows in the dialog box toolbars take you directly to warnings.
  • The option to turn on a second set of parent node check boxes at each subassembly level lets you select or clear all the check boxes for that node.

On the Contains and Where Used tabs:

  • Expand EPDM_expand_arrow and collapse EPDM_contract_arrows arrows within the tree structure let you expand or collapse individual nodes of the tree.
