Load Impacting Instances - All Levels

When working with Assembly Requirements Model (ARM) instances it is helpful to determine which instances are impacted by various parts, or other ARM instances. Now you can find out all the impacted instances, not just the first level. For more information, refer to Loading Impacting Instances in ENOVIA.

Deleting Multiple Configuration Handlers

Occasionally, you may need to delete several configuration handlers. Having to delete each configuration handler individually is inconvenient and time-consuming. If you have permission to delete configuration handlers, you can delete multiple configuration handlers from the search results at one time. For more information, refer to Deleting Multiple Configuration Handlers.

Customizing the Operations Panel to Include a Keep Column

Occasionally, you may move or replace numerous part instances, and want to keep the existing effectivity for the new part instances.  As a result, you will be assigning a null effectivity to the original part instances. This operation could be performed manually, but you would have to generate each modification and effectivity separately. Instead, you can customize the Operations Panel to include a "Keep" column in the Operations window. You can make a selection in this column and have the system automatically generate a modification with the same effectivity of the object that has been moved or replaced in your product structure. For more information, refer to Customizing the Operations Panel.

Wide Cut Support when Cutting Part Instances

When cutting a part instance from a configured product, you may perform a wide cut, in which the starting point of the cut, the ending point of the cut, or both fall outside the boundaries of the effectivity or action associated with that part instance. For more information, refer to Copying, Cutting, and Pasting part Instances.

Enhancements

Larger Description Field

The Description field in the Part Editor and the Product Editor now displays 39 characters instead of 24.

Parent PRC and Parent II Attributes are Public

The Parent PRC and Parent II attributes are now public and can be viewed on the Part Instance properties page and in the Search Results for Part Instances.

Working with NULL Effectivities

You can perform the following functions on part instances having NULL effectivity:

Document Links

The type of link connecting a document to its parent object can be determined visually in the Documents Tab. For more information, refer to Inserting a Document into the Product Structure.

Extend Effectivity Security

To use the Extend Effectivity functionality, you must have the proper privilege. For more information, refer to Extend Instance Effectivity.

Translating Effectivity Domain Information

Effectivity domain information is stored in the database in language-neutral form (ENGLISH). When this domain information is displayed, it is converted to the user's specific language settings. This allows users with different language environments to use the same domain or configuration information. For more information, refer to Translating Effectivity Domain Information.

Ignore Unsolved Operations

While working with a product, you can filter the instances contained in the product based on the various configurations. Occasionally, this may include instances that have unsolved operations. When defining the configuration filter, you can use the Ignore Unsolved Operations option to determine which instances with unresolved operations are filtered in and which are filtered out. For more information, refer to Ignoring Unsolved Operations When Filtering.

Deleting CATIA Reports

When you delete a CATIA workpackage report, the Template document and Query document are not deleted. The Template and Query documents are still present in the database and are available for generating other CATIA workpackage reports. For more information, refer to Deleting CATIA Reports and Generating and Viewing CATIA Reports.
