Display comparison results in the structure trees

You can view the differences between the two revisions in tree format as well as in a graphical display. To do this, click the Structures tab at the left bottom corner of the Graphical Compare tab and Teamcenter displays two structure trees. It shows any modifications (adds, compares, moves, or reshapes) to the selected lines that were detected by the comparison in the appropriate colors. Use the following buttons to set the effectivity for revision rules and the variant rule. Set Date/Unit/End Item button If you select a dynamic revision rule in the Revisions tab before you display the comparison results, the structure tree remains unconfigured and no parts are visible in the viewer. A revision rule is dynamic if Teamcenter requires end item, date, or unit entries to correctly configure the structure against that rule. If Teamcenter uses a dynamic revision rule to load a structure, it requires the unit number and end item to load the structure correctly. To set the correct configurations in this situation: Select each structure pane and click Calender . Teamcenter displays the Set Date/Unit/End Item dialog box. Enter the unit number or end item values and click OK in both structure panel. Teamcenter configures the structures and displays the comparison results in the viewer. When you load a new revision rule, Teamcenter recalculates the comparison results and the control sliders return to their default positions. Set Variant Rule button If the two structures you compare contain components with variant conditions, the comparison results include all the lines, irrespective of the associated variant conditions. To limit the comparison to a set of variant rules: Select each structure pane and click the Variant button. Teamcenter displays the Variant Rule dialog box. Enter the required variant rule and click OK in both structure panels. Teamcenter hides the nonconfigured components in the graphical display and the structure tree. When you load a new variant rule, Teamcenter recalculates the comparison results and the control sliders return to their default positions.
