Transfer of objects in versions and variants

Scroll

Objects available in current version or variant of repreentation can be transferred:

•other versions—dependent and independent,

•other presentation variants,

•variants of detail.

To transfer objects, follow these steps.

1.Set the current version/variant from which you want to transfer the objects as the current version (see section Selecting the current version/variant).

1.Call the Management — Send to versions command. The operation controls will appear on the Parameter Panel.

2.Create the list of the current version/variant objects that you want to transfer.

To add the required objects to the list, click them with the mouse in the Design Tree or in the graphic area of the model. Names of the selected objects will appear in the Objects field.

If required, you can remove the object from the list of transferred objects. To do this, click the icon in the appropriate object row in the list or select the row and click Remove button.

2.Configure the list of versions and variants receiving the selected objects. This list will be displayed in the Versions field.

By default, the list displays all versions and variants available in the model. If the objects of the current instance are intended to be transferred only to its dependent instances and/or variants, for convenience, you can leave only these instances and variants in the list and hide the rest of the list entries. For this purpose click Only dependent versions button.

To the left of each version and variant designation in the list, there is an option. By default, all options are enabled. This means that the selected objects will be transferred to all versions and variants contained in the list. If you don’t want to transfer objects to one of the versions, disable the corresponding option.

You can use the All option located in the top row of the list to enable/disable all the options in the list. Three states are possible for it:

•enabled  — all options in the list are enabled,

•undefined  — the list contains both enabled and disabled options,

•disabled  —all options in the list are disabled.

The list may contain versions and variants that already contain some of the objects selected for transfer. Objects are not duplicated. They are transferred only to those versions and variants that do not contain these objects.

The exception is Deformation objects in assembly models (see the section Deformation when working with model versions and variants).

3.To transfer objects, press the Create Object in the Parameters Panel header.
The button appears on the Panel if objects can be transferred.

Features of passing objects to versions and variants

•If an version or variant needs to include a model component with constraints applied to it, you must specify both the component itself and those constraints. Constraints are not included in mirror versions.

•Only components and interfaces can be transferred to the detail option. All other objects are not transferred.

•If, after creating an assembly detail option, deformation of one of its component  has been completed, then it cannot be transmitted by a command. In order for the deformation operation to be included in the variant, you need to start editing the variant and specify the Deformation object.

•When transferring objects to versions and variants of representation, keep in mind the following: if the transferred object has original objects, such as sketches, then these objects are also transferred to the selected versions/variants of representation .
