Jane
|
John has a toy part with a shellable prism. The part is
divided and John wants Jane to start working on one of the halves while
he finalizes the overall design.
|
Jane creates a new part.
|
John creates a new Workspace and joins it.
|
Jane also joins the same Workspace.
|
John selects Divide Body.3 in the specification tree and selects
Share Selected Entities icon to share Divide Body.3. Share Assistant
dialog pops up. John chooses Overwrite for Solid Functional
Set.1 (shown), Body.1 and Solid Functional set.3 so that Jane will get the same
part as
John has.
|
Jane merges John's briefcase. Jane gets
the bottom part of the Toy design.
|
John adds a flange by selecting Flange icon with 5mm
Width and Thickness.
|
Jane modifies the sketch of the bottom part to change the shape.
|
John shares a newly added Flange.2 under Divide Body.3 in the specification tree
and selects Share Selected Entities. This time John chooses Combine with
Overwrite to protect Jane's changes and force John's flange.
|
Jane merges John's briefcase. Because John has not
chosen Overwrite, Jane can keep her modification
to the bottom part and merge John's Flange in her part.
|
John modifies Body.1 to change the shape of it.
|
Concurrently, Jane adds two posts using the Rib feature.
|
|
Jane shares the Rib feature. She wants to make
available
the Post and does not want to accidentally overwrite possible changes to the Body 1.
Therefore she instructs the Share Assistant to mark it as Protect in the briefcase.
|
John merges Jane's briefcase. John has since modified Body.1. Thanks to Share
Assistant that prompted Jane to think about the merge of Body.1, John is able to merge Jane’s additions to Divide Body.3 without overwriting his own modification to Body.1.
|
Jane modifies the dimension of the posts.
|
John shares it using Share Again. Because John has finalized his design,
now he decides to update Jane’s view of the model. To do so he chooses Share Again the initial briefcase. That selects Divide Body.3; Share Assistant again
prompts for Body.1 behavior and John chooses Overwrite because he does want
Jane to use the new profile.
|
Jane merges John's briefcase. However this briefcase would overwrite Divide Body.3 and some additional edits from Jane. To solve the problem
she uses Merge Assistant to resolve the conflicts. She instruct the merge to discard Divide Body.3 but to
merge Body.1.
She can now merge John’s changes and integrate them in the target body while
preserving her own modification to the bottom half
|
|
Jane can integrate John's design with her posts successfully.
