To display the Circular External References /External Reference link on navigate page for a file saved in X-CAD Design Management, you have to configure the jpo. This will display a blue arrow in the Relationship column of the Navigate page for a file.

  1. Edit the DSCProductStructureEditor jpo.

    The jpo has a variable showCircularExternalReferences to govern the behavior. The variable has two value, True and False. By default, the value is False.

  2. Change the value of the showCircularExternalReferences variable to True. 

    {
boolean showCircularExternalReferences = true;
return showCircularExternalReferences;
}

If the variable showCircularExternalReferences is set to True:

  • Multi-Level Expand will be stopped when children with Circular External Reference Like links are found irrespective of Must In Structure attribute value on relationship.
  • Children with Circular External Reference Like links can be expanded separately using + sign and expand level.
