Visualizing product structure

Understanding the structure tree

When you open the structure in the embedded viewer, the structure tree contains different icons and information to that available when you select other tabs. These icons show the state of a node, as follows: Icon Indicates The part or assembly is fully loaded and all geometry is visible. This icon appears for an assembly even when some parts in the assembly intentionally have no associated geometry, as indicated by (see below). The part or assembly is loaded but not visible. The part or assembly is not loaded. Some parts of the assembly are loaded and some of the parts with associated geometry are visible (assembly only). The assembly is loaded and some of the parts with associated geometry are visible (assembly only). The assembly may have some parts for which the part geometry failed to load (). No geometry (JT file) is associated with the part. This represents parts for which no geometry has been added. This does not represent geometry that fails to load. For example, an assembly references a new BOM line that does not have a JT representation. Either the file has not yet been translated or the item has only a placeholder for a part that has not yet been designed. The part or assembly has JT data which is fully loaded and all geometry is visible. New. This icon may appear when you compare the current assembly with an assembly that you saved in a session file. A file containing part geometry (.jt file) could not be opened. This icon appears when the assembly references a .jt file that for some reason is not accessible; for example, it has been deleted. This icon appears for parts with geometry that fails to load, not parts that are intentionally without geometry, as indicated by . When the embedded Graphics viewer is open, a transparent yellow icon indicates a part has JT dataset attached to it. When you load the part into the Graphics viewer, this icon becomes solid yellow. When the embedded Graphics viewer is open, a transparent yellow icon indicates the assembly or its child part has a JT dataset attached. Select the check boxes next to the components in the tree that you want to display. If you select the root item, the entire structure is displayed, for example:
