Description
In the Composite environment, you now have a standardized approach for managing plies and cores with unavailable or removed materials.
• The laminate objects with unavailable or removed materials are labelled UNASSIGNED.
• The associated features of the laminate objects are labelled Unresolved.
To assign a new material, you can use the Laminate Manager, redefine the feature that created the laminate object, or use the Laminate Objects Properties dialog box.
In a ply book, ply views and flat ply views do not display the plies and cores where the original assigned materials are removed or no longer available.
The views with issues are indicated with in the Drawing Tree.

Benefits
This enhancement improves productivity by:
• Providing standardized labelling for plies and cores with missing materials.
• Eliminating the need for manual tracking or troubleshooting of missing material assignments, enabling better support and visibility.
• Providing better support and clearer visibility of ply views and flat ply views when plies or cores have missing materials.
