The part structure pane is located on the Structure tab beneath the actions toolbar on the left side of the part information page. It contains an indented hierarchy of parts representing the structure of a product. Child parts are shown beneath the parent assembly, indented to the right. Each part row in the structure is identified by the part icon, number, name, and version including the view in parenthesis.

For more information about viewing the part structure, see The Viewing Action Set.

Parts are displayed in the structure according to the currently active part structure filter. Filters may be edited and the structure refreshed to show the parts that meet the new filter criteria. For more information about defining part structure filters, see The Filtering Action Set.

The part structure can also be configured to display related information directly in the part hierarchy. Related information is displayed beneath the part node in the structure that it defines. Information that can be displayed includes documents, CAD documents, replacement parts and distribution targets. For more information about showing related information in the part structure, see The Viewing Action Set.

The Find in Structure input field just above the part structure pane is a useful tool for working with part structures. Part structures are often many levels deep and contain thousands of parts. Locating a specific part using expansion is impractical for a large product structure. Entering a part name or number in the Find in Structure field will locate the part within a multi-level part structure. For more information, see Find in Structure.
