Notes on Suppressed Parts
When taking over model drawings with the function New in HELiOS, suppressed parts in SOLIDWORKS are also taken into account.
These are indicated as such ("Suppressed") and regularly offered for transfer to HELiOS.
Within the dialogue, it is also shown which components are suppressed - in contrast to other, non-suppressed components of the same assembly (because the suppression can be multi-level).
The indication of a suppressed part always refers to the view you get as a user when the superior assembly is loaded.
Parts that are suppressed by SOLIDWORKS due to missing references are also marked accordingly in the dialogue("Missing reference").
Note that when parts are transferred to HELiOS, their file path changes because transferred parts are located in the HELiOS workspace directory. This may mean that when suppressions are removed later, the previous file paths can no longer be restored and you have to break up the corresponding references manually in this case.
Suppressed parts are briefly loaded interactively when you call the New in HELiOS function so that the structure can be read out.
If standard parts are suppressed, SOLIDWORKS displays an info message by default.
In the model structure of the document detail mask of HELiOS, you can recognise suppressed parts/assemblies by their display in dark grey colour:
Please note:
-
In the HELiOS Options window you will find the setting Offer suppressed components for transfer under Behaviour when transferring to HELiOS and then again under Behaviour when deriving model structure. You can deactivate this setting if suppressed components are not to be offered for selection during the transfer with the function New in HELiOS or deriving the model structure. This may make sense for performance reasons. In this case, any existing sub-structures of suppressed parts are not visible in the corresponding dialogue.
-
HELiOS functions for updating during loading, e.g. with regard to new index states, as well as Apply server state (all) do not work with suppressed SOLIDWORKS components!
