Requirements

This displays a list of the FTA Requirements. Some examples are:

• Datum
• Geometrical Tolerance
• Dimension
• Roughness

Right-clicking on an annotation:

• Hide/Show - hides or shows the annotation. Hidden FTA Requirements indicate by a gray background.
• Properties - Lists the properties of that annotation.
• Toggle surface display - Shows the part's surface as transparent mode and the selected surface displays.
  • You can then update the view, or create a new view or multiple views with different surface visibilities.
  • Surfaces for multiple FTA Requirements can display at the same time.
    
    
  • Switch the surface display by running the command again. Select the FTA requirement that has surfaces shown and execute the command. The associated surface is no longer shown.
    
    
  • If no FTA Requirements have their surfaces displayed, then transparency on the Mfg Item restores.
  • The FTA Requirements whose associated surfaces display and identify in the panel by an icon overlay.
    
    
  Note: FTA Requirements are displayed in their default color (black) when not selected.

The panel provides the capability to select multiple FTA Requirements at a time, using:

• Shift + Select.
• Control + Select.
• Select / Unselect All (at the upper left of the panel).

Pre-existing Transparency on the Associated Mfg Item

1. If the associated Mfg Item already has a transparency applied because of a setting in the Buildup Options panel, then this transparency value overrides by the specified in the new option in the Me > Preferences.
2. If the associated Mfg Item already has a transparency applied because of your change on the Mfg Item, using the Color and Transparency options, then the applied transparency is maintained when the surface display is switched ON.
