Explore

The Explore options let you customize the Manufacturing Finder for Manufacturing Context Builder.

This page discusses:

Explore in Manufacturing Finder

Do not display Explore in Manufacturing Finder dialog box anymore
When this option is selected, the Explore in Manufacturing Finder dialog box will not be displayed when the Explore in Manufacturing Finder command is run. The Explore in Manufacturing Finder dialog box allows you to select either a new Manufacturing Finder tab or the target Manufacturing Finder tab where the selected object is to be displayed.

By default, the check box is not selected.

Explore within Context of Existing Roots
When this option is selected:
  • Only objects that are children of the already-explored roots are added in the finder (no new root, except for objects of a type that is not already explored). For example, if a product is already explored, only children of this product are explored. Other products that are parents of the product root or that are not related to the product root are not explored (if the option was not selected, they would have been explored as new roots).

    If no item is already explored, one or several items can be explored as root at the same time (multiselection, for example), and then only children of these items will be explored.

  • If a filter has been applied on a root, only child objects matching the filter criteria are explored under the root.
Note: If the option is selected when a Manufacturing Context Builder tab is already open, it will be taken into account. However, if you clear the check box when a tab is open, you must close the tab to effectively disable the option.

By default, the check box is selected.

Explore with parent tree

When this option is selected, it is taken into account in the following contexts:

  • From the Explore Parents tab, in Instance/Reference mode
  • From any Finder tab with a Product, Item or Resource root
  • From a Finder tab with a PPR Context root

In these cases, the Explore in Manufacturing Finder command builds the branch from the parent to the child and inserts it at the correct position in the Manufacturing Finder tab.

By default, the check box is not selected.

Explore with Filter

Apply Engineering Filter by default
When this option is selected, deactivated instances are filtered out each time an assembly is explored.

By default, the check box is not selected.

Explore in Web App

Select the option:

Immersive Experience whenever possible
When this option is selected, CBP objects are opened in an immersive experience whenever possible.
External Web Browser
When this option is selected, CBP objects are opened in an external web browser.

By default, the External Web Browser option is selected.

Explore Parents

Display the 2D Thumbnails view
When this option is selected, 2D thumbnails are displayed when you use the Explore Parents command.

By default, the check box is selected.

Display the 2D Tiles view
When this option is selected, 2D tiles are displayed when you use the Explore Parents command.

By default, the check box is selected.
