Setting in-context overrides

You can edit the properties of an occurrence in the context of a selected higher level assembly. This in-context override is not defined in the context of the immediate parent but in the context of the next higher level (grandparent level) component. When a component or sub-assembly is reused in another assembly, some information might have to be overridden to adapt it to fit the context of the new assembly.Example Properties such as Sequence or Quantity can be different for a component when the same component is used in the context of two different assemblies. When component C1 is used in the context of the assembly A1, the quantity could be 4 and Sequence value could be 10. However, it is possible that when the same component C1 is used in another assembly, namely A2, the quantity required could change to 6 instead of 4 and the Sequence value could change to 20 from 10. In case of such requirements, for the same component C1, you can use overrides to define the properties Quantity and Sequence differently in the context of assembly A1 and A2.
