Resetting Reconciliation Rules

This task shows you how you to reset reconciliation rules. The application lets you reset the rule defined for one document in particular or all the rules you have defined for all the documents of the Objects to reconcile tree.

When resetting the rules for all documents, you can choose between resetting only the rules or the rules and the mapping.
In CATIA, open a product containing several sub-products to reconcile and set three reconciliation rules.

Resetting One Rule

The Reset contextual command lets you reset the rule defined for one document.

  1. Select a document for which a rule has been defined.
    In our example, the New rule has been defined.

  2. Right-click and select Reset.
    The rule has been reset and the document is no longer mapped as indicated by the symbol.

Resetting All Rules

The Reset all command lets you choose between:

  • resetting all the reconciliation rules which have been defined.
  • resetting all the reconciliation rules which have been defined and undoing all documents mappings.

  1. Click the Global set tab.
    In our example, two rules have been defined: one for PN CATPRT-0183 (Crowbar.1) and one for PN CATPRD-0045 (Cutting Mechanism.1).

  2. Select Reset all from the drop-down list.

  3. Click Apply.
    The Global Set dialog box is displayed. The Reset choice drop-down list provides two reset options:

    • only rules (default option): resets reconciliation rules only
    • rules and mapping

  4. Keep only rules, and click OK to confirm.
    Both rules are removed, the mapping is maintained as indicated by the symbol.

    Setting rules and mapping would let you obtain this result:
    The documents are no longer mapped as indicated by the symbol and the rules have been reset.
