Inheritance of the Included into Calculation/Excluded from Calculation state |
Scroll |
Only model components of the second and subsequent levels can inherit the Included into Calculation/Excluded from Calculation state.
The following icons correspond to this method in the Design Tree:
Inherited – included,
is inherited – is excluded.
The Included/Excluded state is transferred to the current model from the source model containing the component. When the component state changes in the source model, its state in the current model will change automatically.
If required, you can disable inheritance of state for the component to ensure that the data from the source do not affect the current model. The following methods are available.
•In the Design Tree, click the inheritance icon and invoke from the appearing menu the Excluded from calculation 
command or Included in calculation 
,
•Select the component in the Design Tree or in the graphic area of the model and invoke the Exclude from calculation command or Include into Calculation from the context menu.
After inheritance is disabled, the component state will be defined by the value set in the current model. The icon in the Tree will correspond to the manual method of managing exclusion from calculation.
If it is necessary to revert to state inheritance, call the Inherited command from the icon menu in the Construction Tree, or the Inherit from parent command from the component's context menu. The icon in the Tree will change and the component state will be transferred from the source.

In the graphic area, to change a component state (included/excluded/inherit) you can either specify the entire component or one of its elements and then run the required context menu command. |
If you want to restore inheritance of state for all components included in the Components section of the Design Tree, invoke the Inherit for all following levels command from the context menu of this section (the section is displayed if the Design Tree is set to view Structural Representation). After running the command, the value Inherited will be set for all components of the second and subsequent levels included in the section. The state (Included/Excluded) will be transferred from the source of the components. The Inherit for all next levels command can be called for the section Components located at any level of the Tree.

During "in place" editing of a model containing the second and subsequent level components, note the following features. For the time of editing, inheritance of state is switched to manually set. The "included" or "excluded" value corresponds to the inherited one, i.e. if the component is included into the calculation in the source, it becomes included into the calculation in the current model, and vice versa. Instead of the icons Inherited – enabled and Inherited – excluded, the icons Included into Calculation and Excluded from Calculation are displayed respectively. If the component state in the current assembly was changed, the icon is marked with "*". For example, the component is included into the calculation in the source model but excluded from the calculation in the current model. When editing 'in place' for a component, the icon Included into calculation (as in the original model) is displayed, marked with '*'. After "in place" editing is completed, the state of components is restored. |
