MPMLink Filters

A filter enables you to display only the parts of a collection or structure that is of interest to you. For example, if you have a large part structure, you can apply a filter to display only the latest version of each part in the structure. Or, using Set Path Filter you can display only the sub-assemblies that you are currently working on. The filter properties

action launches the Current Filter window that displays the filters currently applied to a collection or structure in expandable sections. Filter information is also displayed at the top of Manufacturing Associative Part Structure Browser, and in various tooltips. The filter criteria is considered only if the Consider Applied Filters for APSB Actions preference is set to Yes.

You cannot edit filters from the Filter Properties window. For more information about editing filters, see Editing Filters.

The filter properties action is available from multiple locations in Windchill. The filters displayed in the Filter Properties window depend on the collection or structure from which you launch the action.

Editing Windchill MPMLink filters can be done in multiple ways. Depending on the context in which the filter is being edited, different filtering options are available.
