Functions for the Active Part: Assignments

In the Assignments area of the article context menu or the same-named Ribbon tab of the article detail window you will find functions for classification, for the displaying of where-used lists, and for the creation and deletion of assignments and links:

  • Assign to active folder: Assigns the article to the active folder.
  • Assign to active project: Assigns the article to the active project.
  • Remove assignment to active folder: Removes the article from the active folder.
  • Remove assignment to active project: Removes the assignment of the article to the active project. Only the link between article and project will be removed.
  • Remove assignment to folder: Deletes the article from its current folder context. This may also be a different folder than the active one (can be shown in the Folder Explorer via right-click and Show folder, while a different folder is active).
  • Remove assignments to project: Deletes the article from its current project context. This may also be a different folder than the active one (can be shown in the Project Explorer via right-click and Show project, while a different folder is active).
  • Remove assignments to all folders: Removes all assignments of the active article to folders.
  • Remove assignments to all projects: Removes all assignments of the active article to projects. The article will then be "project-independent".
  • Show articles where-used lists: The articles where-used list displays the articles or assemblies in which the active article is contained as a sub-part, including its level in the structure.
  • Show links where-used list: To show the links where-used list of an article, mark the objects to be displayed (or to be excluded) according to link type in the Links area on the right (e.g.Part-Document for the link to the HELiOS document of the CAD file) and click Find. By default, all links are activated.
  • Show links: When you select this function, the Show linked objects window will be displayed. Here, all objects (articles and documents) that are linked to the current article will be shown.
  • Show link sources: When you select this function, the Show linked sources window will be displayed. Here, all objects that are linked to the current article will be shown.
  • Remove links in context: Use this option to delete a link to another object. Use this option to delete a link to another object. Since links can only be removed in the respective viewing context (but not any arbitrary links to other objects) this function is only available in a particular context. In a general result list, this function will be greyed out.

Beneath these functions in the context menu, as well as at Assignments > Links > ... on the document detail window Ribbon, you can find further functions for the linking of documents and articles.

 

Please note:

The deleting of an object from a links or where-used list (e.g. via marking and DEL) will not remove the link! Only the marked object will be deleted.
