Synchronization Report Repository

Path

Lets you specify the folder path where the HTML files of the synchronization report are saved.

By default, this field contains: ...\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp. You can browse another path.

Configuration Management

Extract the variability space

Extracts the variability space from the 3D design into the 3D flatten and synchronizes it only once as it is not possible to change the value of the variability space after affectation.

During the synchronization, the variability space of the parent element is checked and automatically synchronized along with the effectivity of the child element. The effectivity of instance is synchronized only if the parent product has a variability space:

• The effectivity of 3D design is read and compared to the effectivity of 3D flatten, if it is included inside, the flatten effectivity is maintained.
• The effectivity of 3D design is read and compared to the effectivity of 3D flatten, if it is NOT included, the flatten effectivity will be replaced by the same effectivity of 3D design.

For more information about variability space and effectivity in 3D flatten, see Electrical Manufacturing Preparation User Guide: Synchronizing the Environment: Synchronizing the Configuration of Electrical Elements.

When the check box is cleared, the variability space is not extracted, the parent element has no variability space and the effectivity is not synchronized during this extract. A message appears in the Synchronization Report. See Electrical Manufacturing Preparation User Guide: Synchronizing the Environment: Working with the Synchronization Report.

It allows you to define your own variability space in 3D flatten. You can either copy effectivities from 3D design or add manufacturing effectivities on product for example. Finally you can synchronize.

By default, this check box is selected.

Warning message on branch split in Rotate and Arrange Junction command will be

Displays a warning message on branch split according to the selected frequency:

• Always shown
• Shown
• Never Shown

For more information about the Rotate,Arrange Junction commands and the branch split, see Electrical Manufacturing Preparation User's Guide: Preparing the Layout: Rotating Segments and Arranging Junctions.

By default, the Shown check box is selected.

Electrical Dimension

Type of dimension

Allows you to select the type of curvilinear dimension, when you select the measure points in the 3D area:

• Offset: displays the dimension line as an offset segment of the projection of the measured segment.

  By default, this check box is selected.

• Parallel: displays the dimension line as a parallel segment of the projection of the measured segment.
• Linear: displays the dimension line as a straight line, parallel to the direction defined by the limit points of the measured segment.
• User define during creation: if you select this option, the previous options appear in a window entitled Multiple Dimensions or Overall Dimension. You can choose / change the types of curvilinear dimensions when creating them.

Measure Point is always the middle of support and protection

Considers the middle of the support or protection as the only measure point on the support or protection.

For more information, see Electrical Manufacturing Preparation User's Guide: Creating and Removing Electrical Dimensions.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Dimension Offset

Lets you specify the offset distance of the distance line from the dimensioning element.

By default, the dimension offset is 20 mm.

2D Dress-Up

Keep numbering of section when updating dress-up

Keeps the same numbering of section views when updating the dress-up.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Copilot management

Show copilot

Shows the copilot when using the Rotate and Roll commands from the Prepare Layout command.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Rotate action

Pivot point identification by proximity

Detects the pivot which is nearest to the pointer while rotating the branches.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Segment name display

Lets you specify the name of the segment to be displayed.

Segment name

Displays the name of the segment.

this option is selected.

Branch name

Displays the name of the parent branch.

Segment name/branch name

Displays the combined name of the segment and is parent branch.
