This command allows you to refresh the display. If a yellow triangle appears on the button, you need to refresh.

 

This command allows you to switch to reference mode.

 

This command allows you to switch to back references mode.

 

This command allows you to filter the document types to display.

 

 

This command allows you to filter the back references modes:

  • Back references: This filter allows you to view all related documents. If assembly Assy.A.0 uses Part.A.0, the back references for modified Part.A.1 will show assembly Assy.A.0 since the latter will automatically be redirected to Part.A.1 when it is opened.

  • Validated back references: This filter allows you to view only the validated back references. A part's back references only shows the validate assemblies that use it, not the minor revisions of this assembly.

  • Non-obsolete back references: If a part is used in an obsolete assembly, the back references of the part will not show the assembly in this mode.

  • Back references of minor revision: If assembly Assy.A.0 uses Part.A.0, the back references of modified Part.A.1 will not show any assemblies. This filter is more restrictive than the first (Back references).

 

Another example about this last mode:

Let an assembly Asm and a part Prt; with Asm.A.0 that has Prt.A.0 as reference (Prt.A.0 is included into Asm.A.0), but Asm.A.1 does not have anymore Prt.A.0 as reference (Prt.A.0 has been deleted from Asm.A.1).

The references wil display:

- Asm.A.1 => no reference

- Asm.A.0 => Prt.A.0

 

The back references will display:

- In mode "Back References" : Prt.A.0 => no back reference

- In mode "Back references of minor revision" : Prt.A.0 => Asm.A.0

 

By asking for back references on Prt, the result displays all the back references of the last minor revision.

The principle is to display by default the existing back references with the last state of the documents; but do not display the old back references of minor revision.

To get the old back references you must use the mode "Back references of minor revision" in order to display the whole existing back references on older minor revisions.

 

 

 

 

Back reference of the part. It is used by an assembly which is used by a draft.

 

  • Indirect unchecked: Search documents which are directly referenced according to the selected types of document.

For example, a part is used by an assembly which is used by a draft. There is no draft for this part. If you search the back references (type draft) of this part, nothing will be displayed.

 

Direct mode: No draft is displayed

 

  • Indirect checked: Search documents which are referenced according to the selected types of document.For example, a part is used by an assembly which is used by a draft. There is no draft for this part. If you search the back references (type draft) of this part, the draft of the assembly using this part is displayed.

 

Indirect mode: The assembly draft is displayed.

 

 

 

By right clicking on a column title, it is possible to add other columns (project name, author, others, ...) These columns can be dragged in this box to group information. For example, if the column "project name" has been dragged, the back references or references are grouped by project.

To remove this mode, just drag the column in the lower section of the window.

This grouping only displays in flat mode.

 

This option allows to display the result with a folder view.

This command allows to display the preview of the selected documents.

 

 

You can use the popup menu in the document part. The available commands are: Show which allows you to highlight the document in the project tree, and Open which opens the document.
