About Multi-Context Reviews

A multi-context review contains multiple contexts (different root objects). A root object can be a part, product, or filter. A part or a product reference, a filter to this reference, and another filter to the same reference are considered as different contexts.

Creating a Multi-Context Review
  • You can create measures, sections, different types of markers, slides, and 3D compare features, pointing to the elements belonging to different contexts.
  • You can decide whether to add a new root in the navigation tab as a context for a review. If you choose not to, the root is removed from the navigation tab.
  • Avoid the addition of one root object (a product or a filter) repeatedly as a context for the review in the navigation tab. In such cases, the review is only linked to one of these roots and this may create inconsistent features (such as measures, sections, and slides).
  • Below is the behavior of different review commands for a multi context review:
    • Measure creation: You can measure entities belonging to different context in the exact mode, only if the canonical information for the entity is available. Otherwise, all the measurements are created in the approximate calculation mode.
    • Measure Between Creation: You can measure the distance between entities belonging to different context only in the approximate calculation mode.
    • Marker creation: You can create markers associated with the elements belonging to any of the contexts.
    • Section creation: The section command takes into account all the contexts. Therefore, all the elements are clipped. You can create partial sections pointing to the elements belonging to one or more contexts with the same product reference.
    • Properties overload: You can overload different product structure properties (such as graphic properties) of any of the contexts in the review. You can overload different product structure properties on the same element belonging to a different context with the same reference.
    • 3D compare: You can compare elements from different context and different product references.
    • Local interference computation: You can compute local interference for all the review contexts. You cannot compute the interference between an element in one context and the same element in another context. A single interference is computed for two elements in one context and the same elements in another context with the same reference.
