View Option Toggle Buttons
The Link Entity Browser is a tool to easily examine the connections between the different parts of a model. One strategy to do that is to start the investigation on one part or a certain group of parts, so each action in the Link Entity Browser starts with a selection of parts. Parts can be considered as links.
Option | Name | Effect |
---|---|---|
1st link entity | The selected link entity can always be seen as the 1st link
entity, even if the selected part is not referenced by any
connector at all. If the 1st link entity view option button is
active, the selected links will be taken into account for the
action regardless. This means that in case of the isolation,
all selected links will be isolated.
|
|
Linked connector entity | If this linked connector entity view option button is active
all connectors linked to the 1st link entities will be taken
into account for the action. It does not matter if the 1st link
entity view option button is active or inactive, its connectors
will still be located. This determination has nothing to do with
any display states. This means that in case of the isolation,
only the connectors which are referenced by the selected
links (1st link entity) are isolated.
|
|
2nd link entity | If the 2nd link entity view option button is active, all link
entities referenced by the determined connectors except the
(selected) 1st link entities will be taken into account for the
action. It does not matter if the 1st link entity or the linked
connector entity view option buttons are active or inactive;
this determination has nothing to do with any display
states. In the case of isolation, this means that only the
links that share connectors with the selected entities are
isolated.

Realization | When this option is active, all realizations belonging to the determined linked connector entities will be taken into account for the action. |
