Managing Items

This task shows you how to assign or un-assign items to process activities.

You must assign items to compute an analysis:

  • One or several Positioning System or Datum Reference Frame to all activities. See Creating Positioning System.
  • Fastening only to a Fastening or Already Done Fastening activity. See Creating Fastening.
  • Annotation Bag or Tolerancing capture to all activities. See Creating Annotation Bag.
    You can assign one or more Annotation Bag/Tolerancing capture but only one will be take into account with the following rule:
    • the first Annotation Bag then the first Tolerancing capture in the item's list.
    • The first Annotation Bag then the first Tolerancing capture in the list is taken into account.
    • The first item in the list is taken into account.
  • A Contact to any kind of activity (Positioning, Fastening or Release). See Creating a Contact.
    • If a Contact is already linked to a Fastening Element through a Contact Link, you must first delete this Contact Link, and then assign the Contact to the Fastening Element.
    • If a Contact is directly assigned to an activity, it is not possible to generate a Contact Link, even if the option Link Creation Mode is set to Automatic.

You may assign:

  • An item to several activities.
  • Several items to an activity.

You may un-assign:

  • Several items from an activity.
