About Slides

In slides, you can create markup features and overload product structure attributes.

In slides, you can create the following kinds of markup data:

• Graphic Annotations
• Text Annotations
• Measures
• Sections
• Comparison between two objects

You can overload the following attributes:

• Component Graphical Attributes (color, transparency)
• Position
• Component Hide or Show Status

  You can also change the hide or show status set in the Product Structure Editor tree and vice versa. It is kept as an overload in an activated slide or format.

  • When the hide or show status is modified in the Design Validation or in the product structure tree, the following applies:

    • If a slide or format is activated in Design Validation, the hide or show modification is saved inside this slide or format.
    • If no markup is created, you can save the hide or show modification by creating a markup (which also creates a slide and saves the visibility overloads.)
  • Whenever the markup is deactivated, the current slide or format is also deactivated and the hide or show status changes are removed from the slide or format.

  • When a slide is created while its parent markup is deactivated, the hide or show overloads created while the markup was deactivated are automatically saved inside the newly created slide.

A slide can point to only one format at a time.

• Every slide does not necessarily have a pointed format.
• Whenever a slide is associated with a format, all the contents in the format are visible in the slide.
• The format features cannot be edited or selected, in the associated slide.
• Whenever a format pointing to a slide is changed, the markup is automatically saved.
• In case of the following features and parameters, slide's features and parameters are preferred over features and parameters of the pointed markup:
  • Viewpoint
  • Section
  • Product Structure Overload

For slides, users can provide their feedback using replies. This section provides more information about replies.

The width of the slide and replies panel can be altered. The panel width controls how the replies under a slide are displayed.

• If only a single column of thumbnails fits in the width, the slides and replies are displayed vertically.
• If more than one column of thumbnails fits in the width, the slides and replies are displayed horizontally for each markup. In this case, a blue line connects two consecutive replies created using Design Review for Dashboard or Design Validation.
