Columns of Assembly Structure Window

You can customize the set of columns to be displayed in the Assembly Structure window. The picture below shows which columns are displayed by default.

Following columns are available:

•Object
The main column, which is always displayed in this window. Contains the assembly structure tree with names and icons of elements.

•Link
The column shows the file referenced by the assembly element.

Visibility in Assembly
Icon in this column indicates, whether an element is visible in 3D scene:

– visible;

– hidden.

Clicking an icon hides/shows element. If an element doesn't contain 3D model, then  the column is empty.

Also see the Controlling Elements Visibility chapter.

Transparency in Assembly
Icon in this column indicates, whether an element is transparent in 3D scene:

– transparent;

– non-transparent.

Clicking an icon enables/disables transparency. If an element doesn't contain 3D model, then  the column is empty.

Actuality
The column shows the relevance of an item in the assembly with respect to geometry updates in the source file:

– the link is up to date;

– the link is not current and you need to update the element in the assembly;

– the file is not found.

Saved
Icon in this column indicates the rights of access to the fragment file in the current T-FLEX CAD session:

– file is open with read and write access;

– file is open with read-only access.

If a file is not open in the current session, then the column is empty.

Modified
The icon indicates the presence of unsaved changes in the assembly element file.

•Mass
The column shows the mass of the detail or subassembly (depending on whether the item is a subassembly or a detail).

•File Type
The column specifies the file extension. The column is needed to understand whether the assembly element is a T-FLEX CAD document or an external model of other formats ("stp", "igs", etc.).

•Link Type
The columns shows type of the link - external or internal. The link is called external when the file is saved separately from the assembly. The link is called internal is when the file is attached to the assembly file.

•Full Path
The column displays the full path to the assembly element.

•Object Type
The column shows the type of an object to which the assembly structure element belongs (3D fragment, document parameters, external references, standard elements).

•Number of Bodies
Specifies the number of fragments and/or bodies within the assembly structure element.

•Descriptions
Shows the Descriptions that you specified when creating the assembly element in the fragment or detail dialog box.

•Part No.
Shows the Part Number you specified when creating the assembly element in the fragment or detail dialog box.

•Fragment GUID
Displays the unique identifier of the fragment.

Load Contents
Displays the fullness of loading the selected fragment (see the section Large Assembly Management Tools).

•Transformation Matrix
Displays the transformation matrix of the fragment. If necessary, you can copy the transformation matrix to the clipboard using the appropriate context menu command.
