Action Set | Actions |
---|---|
Editing | Includes the Refresh Context action that updates a configuration context part structure to reflect the latest included and excluded parts. For more information, see Editing Action Set - Configuration Contexts. |
Check Out/In | Includes Check Out, Check In, and Undo Checkout actions. Use these actions to reserve or release the right to modify a configuration context. For more information, see Check Out/In Action Set - Configuration Contexts. |
Viewing | These actions allow you to change the information that is displayed in the configuration context part structure. For more information, see Viewing Action Set - Configuration Contexts. |
New | Provides the ability to create a new viewable representation. For more information, see New Action Set - Configuration Contexts. |
Filter | Edit Filter and Current Filter actions allow you to view and edit the filters used to display the configuration context part structure. For more information, see Filter Action Set - Configuration Contexts. |
Design Context | Includes the New/Update and Open In CAD Tool actions to create, update, and open the design context associated to the configuration context in a CAD application. For more information, see Design Context Action Set - Configuration Contexts. |
Tab | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
Attributes | Displays important attribute information about the configuration context or the member parts it contains. The following attributes are unique to a configuration context: • The Context Part is the top level assembly from which a configuration context is created. Its structure uses all the parts that are required in the configuration context. • The Design Context field contains the name, number, and version of the design context created from the configuration context. | ||
Visualization | Displays graphic images of all parts included in the configuration context having published geometry generated from CAD models. Selecting the image of a part expands the configuration context structure and highlights that part in the part structure pane. Selecting a part in the part structure pane highlights the same part in the Visualization tab. For details about the tab actions, see Visualization Tab Actions. | ||
Rules | Contains a list of rules governing the inclusion and exclusion of parts within the configuration context. These rules run whenever you perform a Refresh Context operation. For details about the display behavior of the Rules tab, see Rules Tab Display Behavior Selecting an Exclude, Include, Include Only, or Proximity Spatial rule expands the configuration context structure in the part structure pane and highlights the related part. For further details about cross selection behavior between the part structure pane and the tabbed pane, see Cross Selection Behavior | ||
Modules | Displays the definitions of option filters and ad-hoc filters defined by the variant specification, which are referenced and applied to the configuration context structure, when you create a configuration context for a managed variant specification.

Action | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
Zoom all | Zoom in on the complete assembly. | ||
Zoom selected | Zoom in on a selected part. | ||
Set spin center | Enables you to assign a spin center to the assembly. | ||
Toggle the automatic selection preference | Enables you to toggle the automatic selection preference to do one or both of the following: • Automatically Select from Structure to Visualization • Automatically Select from Visualization to Structure When both options are selected, clicking on a structure member highlights the member in the visualization and clicking on a member in the visualization pane highlights its row in the structure (expanding the structure if necessary).
| ||
Spatial filter | Opens a menu to set or update box, sphere, or (where a component is selected) proximity type of spatial filter. For more information, see About Spatial Filters.
| ||
Spatial rule | Opens a menu to set or update a box, sphere, or (where a component is selected) proximity spatial rule. For more information about using spatial rules, see the following topics.

This action | Cleans up . . . |
---|---|
New Exclude rule is defined. | All Include, Include Only, and Exclude rules. |
New Include rule is defined. | All Exclude, Include Only, and Include rules. |
New Include Only rule is defined. | All Include, Include Only rules, as well as the Exclude rule unless it is the most recent rule for this path. |
• If the part related to the selected rule is missing in the part structure pane (for example, if it was filtered out, has an Exclude rule, or it has been removed from the tree structure) then the tree expands as far along the path to the part as possible, but does not select a part. • In a multibody structure, if a body node is selected, the parent part of the selected body is selected in the CAD or part structure. |
