For a part there are often dependencies with other objects (assigned accessories, stored drilling pattern, etc.). By means of the new Expand tree view with linked objects setting in the Settings: Parts (user) dialog these links can be displayed below a part or below a part variant in the tree of the parts management. (A possible command path to this dialog is: File > Settings > User > Management > Parts.)
Benefit:
The display of the linked objects in the tree allows you to have a quick overview of which objects are related to a part.
If this check box is activated, all objects linked to the part are displayed in the tree below a part (accessory parts components of a module or an assembly, etc.). This setting also applies to the tree of the part selection and the tree of the part master data navigator. The links displayed below a part or a part variant are identified by the icon
. Via the Go to popup menu item you can directly navigate from the link to the respective object.
For a part with activated Discontinued part property the entered Replacement part is displayed in addition to the links.
If the check box is deactivated, no linked objects are displayed in the tree below the parts or part variants.
The following figure shows a part with links to three drilling patterns, a connection point pattern and a manufacturer / supplier.
