Displaying Easy Warnings


 

This task explains how to get help on a command using the Easy Warning capability.
This capability gives you information on the command icon you click by displaying a furtive long help message in the bottom right part of the window.
You also have the ability to get the history of the last five easy warnings displayed during your Version 5 session.
This capability is only available with a VPM Navigator or a VPM Instant Collaboration license. Note also that not all the commands of these products are associated to an easy warning. For detailed information on VPM Navigator, refer to the Version 5 - VPM Navigator User's Guide (on the ENOVIA V5 VPM/LCA Documentation CD-ROM) and for information on Instant Collaboration, refer to the Version 5 - DMU Navigator User's Guide.
  In our scenario, we take the VPM Instant Collaboration product as an example. We also assume that at least two users have been identified in the Identification tab in Tools > Options > Infrastructure > Collaboration Infrastructure (as explained in the Version 5 - DMU Navigator User's Guide).

  2. Select Start > Digital Mockup > DMU Navigator to enter the DMU Navigator workbench.

  3. Select View > Toolbars > Instant Collaboration to display the Instant Collaboration toolbar:

  9. Select a view from the list then click Send. An easy warning is sent to the second Version 5 session:

  10. In the first Version 5 session, click 3D conferencing again, select the Annotated Views tab then send another view. Another easy warning is sent:

    You notice that the icon in the bottom right corner is now activated and looks like this: .

Each warning is displayed once in the history, even if a command has been run several times.
