Articles Where-Used List (PDM in HiCAD)

In the Use tab of an article master window, a so-called "parts where-used list" can be displayed. For this purpose, you need to transfer the part structure to the product structure. Please note that only one level will be transferred.

On the Use tab you can set the number of levels and the type of display and specify the handling of the indices.

All indices	Old indices will also be considered. Suppose that part A has been inserted in an old index of part B. If the checkbox is active, a parts where-used list for part A will show the use with the old index, with active checkbox.
Ignore index	Old indices of the part will also be considered during the search. Suppose that Part A has been inserted with index 2 in part B. The current index of part A is 5. Part B is also listed if the checkbox is active.

Right-click a list entry and select Show article to open the article detail window with the master data.

Use the Print result list function to print the list.

The dialogue windows for articles and the context menu are operated in the same way as those in the HELiOS Desktop.
