Display

The Display options let you customize the masks and the groups in the tree for Product Structure Design.

This page discusses:

Tree

Display a symbol to show the status
If this option is selected, the following options are available. These options enable to display a mask (symbol) over icons in the tree. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: Tree Masks.
Lock or editability
Displays the masks corresponding to the edition rights.

With the editability mode, if the Control content privileges option is selected and

  • The Forbid the edition of read-only content and temporarily lock the read-write content option is selected: the non-editable mask is displayed.

  • The Authorize the edition of read-only content with a warning option is selected: the locked or unlocked masks are displayed.

    Notes: For the root product, the editability information of the reference are displayed. For children products, both the instance and the reference editability information is displayed.
    • Representations:
      • For aggregated representations, only the representation reference information is displayed.
      • For shared representations, both instance and reference lock information are displayed.
    • Locked status update:
      • When you lock or unlock an object, the editability status is automatically updated.
      • When another user locks or unlocks an object, the editability status is not automatically updated. You must close then reopen the session to see the updated locked mask. Nevertheless the display is consistent with the information retrieved when loading or refreshing time.

For more information about editability, see the Collaborative Lifecycle User's Guide.

By default, this check box is selected.

No identity (on instance)
Displays the mask if a product instance has no identity position related to its parent reference.
Note: For repositionable (or repositioned) instances, this mask does not appear.
Important: Also displays a mask to indicate the frozen instance position. This mask appears on top of the existing masks in the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Flexibility
Displays a mask for the flexibility and position status.
Mask Meaning

There is no identity position.

The reference is flexible at instantiation.

The product instance is repositionable.

The position of the product instance can be overloaded.

The position of the product instance has been overloaded.

The position of the product instance is frozen.

By default, this check box is selected.

Local update (on representation)
Displays the mask for local update.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Relation (on representation)
Displays the mask for relations on representations.
Mask Meaning

The publication exposes another publication.

A publication has no associated object.

The relation owned by the publication is not synchronized.

Appears when:

  • The relation owned by the publication is unresolved. For example, if the representation is erased in database.
  • An error has occurred while synchronizing the publication's relation. For example, if the object referred by the publication has been deleted inside the representation (the link is broken).

Warning: To display these masks in the tree on a product node, you must select the Display relation status at representation level option in Me > Preferences > 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Common Preferences > 3D Shape Infrastructure. For more information, see General.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Contextual link
For products or representations, a contextual reference keeps a contextual link with one of its instances. This instance is called contextual instance.

The reference (a product or representation) is contextual if it has a contextual link with an assembly, in which it is instantiated. This is the context link with only one of these instances of the reference that defines this assembly.

The instances can have three different statuses.

By default, this check box is selected.

Grouping node for tree

This option is applied on product types, product subtypes, product extensions.

On premises only: The capability to configure the grouping nodes relies on security masks that are available on-premises only. For more information, see Installation and Setup: Customize: 3DEXPERIENCE PlatformSecurity Management: Security Mask Configuration.

The grouping node configuration is not available on the cloud.

Enable tree grouping by criteria
Groups objects with the same attribute under a specific node in the tree.

By default, this check box is cleared.

The grouping can be customized with maximum three criteria, defined in this order:

  • Group by
  • Then by
  • Finally by
Notes:
  • To be candidate for grouping, the attributes must be integer, string, enum.
  • The attributes proposed for grouping are those related to the type, the type extension and the type derivation.
  • Attributes can have one or multiple values. If they have multiple values:
    • One grouping node is created per value
    • The product appears under every relevant node.

Enable grouping or hiding by applicative types

Enables you to group or hide all objects of the same discipline or applicative types in the tree.

Select the desired option:

Important: This option is applied only to the tree. It has no impact on the 3D display.

No
Displays all the applicative types.

If no applicative type is selected, the tree displays all the components of the root product.

Grouping Nodes
Select this option, then select the convenient applicative types you want to group.

When this option is selected, an additional group node is added in the tree.

Discipline (apps) Applicative Type
Fastener Bead Fastener
Spot Fastener
Loc Fastener
Piping Rigid Pipe
Flexible Pipe
Insulation
Piping Part
Electrical Equipments
Supports
Electrical Devices
Harness Bundles
Geometrical Harnesses
Wire Harnesses
Protection References
Conductor References
Tooling Tooling Skeleton
Tooling Mobile Unit
Tooling Tool
Tooling Unit
Tooling Flow
Tooling Part
Tooling Component

Note: There is no hierarchy of grouping nodes.
  • A grouping node is displayed under the parent node.
  • To display a discipline group, at least one child must have this discipline.
Hiding Nodes
This option enables you to hide one or more applicative types in the tree.
Warning: Some applicative commands change the discipline of already created objects. In this case, the object is not automatically grouped after the command is run. It remains at its initial position. To update the tree with up-to-date information, you must collapse and expand the parent node in the tree.
