Path Filter
|
 |
Path Filter allows you to filter a structure, so that only a select set of structure paths is displayed and the paths that are not included in the filter are excluded from the structure. The following actions are available in this drop-down menu:
• Apply Path Filter: Applies a new path filter using paths to the parts selected in the part structure tree. Any currently applied path filter is removed when the new path filter is applied.
• Find and Apply Path Filter: Applies a new path filter using the paths to the parts that match the results of a search using any of the following search capabilities:
◦ The Apply Find in Structure Path Filter action allows you to use a simple search, similar to Find in Structure, to search for the parts for paths to be included in a new path filter.
◦ Up to five most recently used Find in Structure searches provide quick access to search for the parts for the paths to be included in a new path filter.
◦ The Apply Advanced Find Path Filter action allows you to use a complex search, similar to Advanced search action, to search for the parts for the paths to be included in a new path filter.
◦ The list of saved Advanced Find Criteria provides quick access to search for the parts for the paths to be included in a new path filter.
Each of these searching capabilities removes any currently applied path filter when searching for the new path filter to be applied. For more information about the Find in Structure and Advanced search actions, see Find in Structure.
• Add to Applied Path Filter: Adds the selected path to the path filter that is currently applied to the structure. The selected nodes are added to the path filter and the structure is updated. This action is available only when a path filter is currently applied.
• Edit Path Filter: Opens the Edit Path Filter window providing the ability to modify the currently applied path filter with the following actions:
◦ Enable: Enables the selected path in the path filter, so that it is actively used to filter the structure.
◦ Disable: Disables the selected path in the path filter, so that it remains in the path filter but is not actively used to filter the structure.
◦ Remove: Removes the selected paths from the path filter.
◦ Reset: Resets the path filter to its initial state when the Edit Path Filter window was initially opened.
• Disable Path Filter: Disables all paths in the currently applied path filter, so that none of the paths are actively used to filter the part structure.
