Version management in Document Manager |
Scroll |
To perform various actions with model versions in the Document manager use the table of versions and the control panel buttons shown in the table (see below). To display them in the Manager, you need to select the Executions 
element in the Manager tree.
The table of versions contains a list of model versions and values of the version properties.
The list of versions is displayed in the Name column. Its structure repeats the structure of the Model versions tree. Each version in the list has a name and an icon. The icons of all versions, except for the current one, are gray; the current version icon is yellow.
The list contains all the model versions available in the document. List changes, such as adding, moving and deleting versions, are automatically transferred to the Versions tree. You cannot cancel these actions in the Manager.
The set of table columns containing the values of properties of versions is configured using Column settings button (see below). The list of properties is the same for all versions of the model. Values of the properties may be different for different versions.
|
The values of some properties cannot be changed. Cells with the values of these gray properties. In addition, gray cells are inaccessible for manual input. |
Values of some properties (for example, a comment) can be entered directly into the cell. If a special dialog is used to set the value, then after clicking in the cell on the right side of this cell, a button with ellipsis appears. Clicking this button brings up the property value setting dialog. You can also invoke this dialog by double-clicking in a cell.
Property values specified in the document are displayed in black. Values obtained by reference from the source or recorded by the operating system in a file are blue.

Create a dependent execution |
The button allows you to create a dependent version model. The starting point for it is the one selected in the Manager’s list of versions. If the original version is mirrored, the button is unavailable. After you click the button, the new version appears in the Manager list of versions and in the Version tree. It is subject to the original. |
|
Create mirrored version |
The command is called from the menu of the Create a dependent execution button. It allows you to create a Mirrored version of the model. The starting point for it is the one selected in the Manager’s list of versions. If the original version has already been mirrored, or the original version itself is mirrored, the command is not available. After you call the command, a new version appears in the Manager’s list of versions and in the Version Tree. It is subject to the original, i.e. is dependent. If the initial version is a model with components, then after you call the command, the Component Mirroring Parameters Setup dialogappears. Make the necessary settings and complete the creation of a mirror execution by clicking OK in the dialog or the Create Object button on the Parameter Panel. |
|
Create an independent fulfillment |
The command is called from the menu of the Create a dependent execution button. It allows you to create an independent model version. The starting point for it is the one selected in the Manager’s list of versions. If the original version is mirrored, the command is unavailable. After you call the command, a new version appears in the Manager’s list of versions and in the Version Tree. It is located on the first level of the hierarchy and occupies the last position in the list of versions. |
|
Move Row Up Move Row Down |
The buttons move the selected version one position up or down in the list of versions. Buttons are available if the version can be moved to the specified position. |
|
Delete Rows |
The button allows you to delete the selected version or several versions selected with the <Shift> or <Ctrl> keys. |
|
Assign as active |
The button allows you to make the current version selected in the Manager’s execution list. |

The dialog will display a set of variables for this version. After selecting the desired variable, the column with its name is added to the execution table and to the list of displayed properties of the Column settings dialog. If the selected variable corresponds to an operation / size parameter, then the name of this parameter/size is also displayed in the column header. In the future, you can disable and enable the display of a column with variable values in the same way as other columns in the table. |
|
Display individual tolerances |
This button allows to enable/disable display of individual tolerances of control dimensions and parameters of operations whose values are expressed in linear or angular values. To view the tolerances, the columns with the values of variables of these dimensions and parameters must be added to the table of versions. Tolerances are shown in the table when the button is selected. You can not only view tolerances, but also change them in a special dialog.Details... about viewing and assigning tolerances... |

|
Select a material from the list |
The button allows you to select a material from the the density reference file, which is used by the KOMPAS-3D system by default. On the screen, there appears a dialog for material density selection. Upon the choice of material, density and style of hatch are set automatically. |
