Navigator Page

The Navigate tab displays the objects and the assembly structure related to the current object.

You can view the objects connected to the current object and edit the object details shown on this page as long as the root node is not in the Released state.

Relationships in family object structures are between instances and not families. The child objects are connected with the instances. The Family's Navigate tab displays the Instances and the assembly structure below those instances.

For a structure saved in X-CAD Design Management, display of relationships which are classified as Circular External Reference or External Reference (in the user's Global Configuration object), on the Navigate page, depends on the configuration done in the DSCProductStructureEditor JPO .

If the JPO is configured to show these relationships then, then relationships which are classified as Circular External Reference or External Reference in the user's Global Configuration object are displayed on the Navigate page.

Multi-Level expand operation is stopped when children with "Circular External Reference Like" relationships 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.

If the JPO is configured to hide these relationships then, then relationships which are classified as Circular External Reference or External Reference in the user's Global Configuration object are not displayed on the Navigate page.

You can perform modification only for revision objects. The Actions and Enable Edit command is not available for iterations.

Columns


Columns	Description
Name	Indicates the name of the object. An icon is displayed with the name, indicating the file type.
Title	The title of the object.
Relationship Details	- Shows a black arrow indicating the direction of the relationship. - If the design has a Circular External Reference/External Reference, a blue arrow appears. Click the arrow for details, see Relationship Details.
	Shows the thumbnail of the primary image associated with the object.
Alerts	If any alerts are associated with the object, the alert icon shows in the column.
Rev	Indicates the revision level.
Iter	Iteration of the object.
Description	A brief description of the object.
Owner	Name of the user who owns the object.
State	Current lifecycle state of the revision.
Actions	The actions you can perform on the object: - View and select subscriptions for a document. See Common Components User's Guide. - To download the structure to your local disk, see Downloading a Structure. - To open a file in the respective integration application from the web browser. The availability of this command depends on the mapping done in the integration app. For certain application other than X-CAD Design, checkout icon will be visible even if the mapping is not present, but will display an error message. - The file is unlocked. Click to lock. - The file is locked. Click to unlock. - Click to view the file in AutoVue.
Type	Type of the object.
Rel Modification Status	If a new structure was generated, the status of the relationship shows New. If the Relationship Modification Status in Matrix is modified in the Relationship Details page (see Relationship Details), then the Navigator page must be refreshed for the Rel Modification Status column in the Navigator page to display the modified status.
	Click to view the Properties page and category list for the design in a separate window.
Quantity	This column displays the quantity value for all the relationships with a particular child. The availability of this column depends on the value of the attribute set by your administrator.
	Click to view only the Navigator page in a separate window.

Actions/Toolbar Options

Use the Actions menu to perform these tasks for the selected object. You can only use these menu items if you are assigned the integration for the object type. The Actions menu and lock/unlock is not available for iterations.


Actions/Toolbar Commands	Description
Promote	Promotes the selected object to the next state in the object's lifecycle. See Promoting Objects.
Demote	Demotes the selected object to the previous state in the object's lifecycle. See Demoting an object
EBOMSync	Create an Engineering BOM (EBOM) based on the selected CAD object. See Creating an EBOM from CAD Objects.
Rename	Rename the CAD model. See Renaming CAD Objects.
SaveAs	Save a CAD object with a different name. See Saving CAD Objects with a Different Name.
Purge	Permanently delete the CAD objects from the database. See Purging.
Baseline	Label a particular set of objects. See Baselining.
Delete Selected	Delete the selected objects, if you have delete permission. See Deleting CAD Objects.
Lock	Lock an unlocked object. See Locking and Unlocking CAD Objects.
UnLock	Unlock an object that you locked. See Locking and Unlocking CAD Objects.
Change Owner	Change the user who owns the object. You can change owner only for revision objects.
3DLive Examine	Click 3DLive Examine to open the 3DVIA Viewer. 3DLive Examine is a webtop visualization component used to view 3D and 2D images (CGM, CGR or 3DXML files) associated with parts and CAD models. You have to install 3DLive Examine on the server to view the files.
Edit Actions	Actions to be performed on the objects in the Edit mode. See Editing Object Relationships
Enable Edit	Click Enable Edit to edit the object relationship and enable the Edit Actions menu. Modifications to iterations is restricted and the Enable Edit command is not available for iterations. See Editing Object Relationships.
Instances	The list of instances for the object. For SolidWorks, by default the active instance is displayed and its name is preceded by the word "Active:" to indicate that it is an active instance. For other integration, the information about which instance is active is not sent by the integration to X-CAD Design Management. For integration other than SolidWorks: Any one instance from the list of instances is by default displayed in the "Instances" list. The active instance is not displayed in a different color. For such integrations, the keyword "Active:" is not displayed before the active instance. Only for family objects, an instances list is displayed connected to the family. Choose an instance from that list to display that instance as the root node with the structure of that instance displayed below this root node. Expanding any of the instances or their child assemblies that may be instances, will not display the family and other instances. If the object name is same as the filename, the instances lists the instance names. If the object name is not the same as the filename, the instances lists the instance title. Active instances is not available for data created on Iteration earlier than V6R2013x. If you have upgraded from an earlier Iteration to V6R2013x, and are using the old data: Any one instance from the list of instances is by default displayed in the instances list. The active instance is not displayed in a different color. The keyword Active: is not displayed before the active instance.
