Generating a Downstream Structure
Prerequisites
To use the Generate Downstream Structure action in a default setting, ensure that the following criteria are met:
• The upstream node is selected.
• Equivalent link exists between the upstream and downstream nodes.
You can customize the selection and equivalent link criteria in the preprocessor delegate.
By default, the upstream nodes are matched with their downstream parent nodes using custom attribute values. You can customize the matching logic in the search delegate.
By default, the upstream nodes are transferred downstream using the Paste As Is action. You can customize the transfer logic in the resolver delegate.
To generate the downstream structure using BOM Transformer
Perform the following steps:
1. Access the required part and assign appropriate values to the custom attributes created for the transfer and restructure logic.
2. Select the root node in the upstream, and click
in the middle pane tool bar.
The parts with matching custom attribute values in both the structures are added as child parts in the downstream structure. You are also notified about the result of the action.
