Deleting Colorization Rules

As the rules can be added, the rules can be deleted too from the set of colorization rules. You can delete rules whenever you want to. For this, you just need to right-click on the added rule and select the Delete rule contextual command that appears.

About Defining Rules

While defining or editing the rules for rounds or fillets, the following three types of messages may be displayed:

  • Message 1:

    While defining or editing rules, if the base radius of 1 rule becomes same as that of the rules, the following message is displayed:

    "Part Analysis 
    This is invalid rule 
    Base radius for this rule conflicts with that of rule 3."

    (Here, the current rule being modified has the same base radius as that of rule 3):

  • Message 2:

    While defining or editing rules, if the base radius of range type of rule is more than top radius of the range, the following message is displayed:

    "Part Analysis
    This is invalid rule 
    The first radius value cannot be greater than the second value."

    (To avoid getting this message frequently, it is better to change the top radius value of the range)

  • Message 3:

    While defining or editing rules, if the range of one rule overlaps the range of another rule, then the following message is displayed:

    "Part Analysis 
    This is invalid rule 
    Range of radius values of this rule conflicts with that of rule 3."

    (Here the range of the current rule being modified overlaps with that of rule 3):
