External references are specifically marked in the feature log. The type of the external reference will be distinguished, in particular with regard to whether it is actually used: If a feature log contains an external reference which is currently used by the part, this is indicated by an e in the icon, otherwise an a appears.(The property Use external references can be changed in the context menu of the feature log.)
