Product Structure Symbols

Product1

A product. For more information, refer to Insert a New Product in ProductStructure User's Guide.

Product2A component or sub-product. For more information, refer to Insert a NewComponent in Product Structure User's Guide.

Flexible_product

The purple little wheel to the left corner of the CATProduct icon and the light

bar identify a flexible sub-assembly. For more information, refer to Soft

Sub-Assemblies in Product Structure User's Guide.

Part.1Instance of a part. This symbol means that there is a geometrical

representation of the part and that it is activated.

Part_with_DeactivatedRepresentation

The representation of this part is deactivated. This symbol means the

geometric representation is deactivated. Before opening a document, you

choose the activate or deactivate Shape representation in Tools-> Options-

>Infrastructure , select the Product Structure tab and check the box entitled

Do not activate default shapes on open.

For a particular instance in the document, you can deactivate or activate it

by selecting the Representations -> Deactivate Node / Activate Node contextual commands.

Component_with_DeactivatedRepresentation

The representation of this component is deactivated.

Contex t ua l pa r t s :

For contextual parts, the reference keeps a link with the Original or Definition Instance (or Original Part).

For each parts, every instance keeps a link with its reference. But the Contextual Reference (or Contextual Part) has only onelink, with a single instance which is contextual. This unique link allows you to know the name of the document (CATProduct)

on which the part 's external geometry rests.

There is a distinction between the Original Instance and the subsequent Contextual References because the geometrical

definition of contextual Parts depends on neighboring components (support) in the Assembly. The Geometry of the

Contextual Part depends on another instance in the same Assembly (second link).

Three Instances of Contextual Part exist:

_ Definition Instance

This icon shows that the Part Reference is contextual and this Instance is the

Definition Instance. The green gear and the blue chain signify the "original"instance of a part that is contextual (driven by another part, built with

another part's data) in a CATProduct.

_ Instance of the Definition Instance

This contextual part, represented by the white gear and the green arrow, isan Instance of the Definition Instance, coming from the Contextual Part. The

geometry of this instance is connected with the Definition Instance

(contextual link). Note that you can edit this contextual part.

_ Other Instance of the Contextual Part

The brown gear and the red flash signify that the Part reference is contextual

and that this instance is not used in the Part Definition. Note that you canedit this Contextual Part. This symbol can appear when you copy / paste orinsert a Contextual Part into another CATProduct without taking into account

the contextual links.

In this case the user needs to resort to the "Define Contextual Links" or

"Isolate Part" commands in order to redefine the context of the Part and this

red flash will be turned into a blue chain or green arrow.For more information, please read the following scenarios: DefiningContextu al Links: Editing and Replacing Comm ands, and Isolating a Part

in Product Structure User' Guide.

Part1

Reference of a part. For more information, refer to Insert a New Part in

Product Structure User's Guide.

Deactivated_Component

A deactivated component. The shape representation is deactivated; itsgeometry is not visible. This functionality can occur simultaneously on

several documents containing this component, especially when thiscomponent is the instance of a reference. This operation is equivalent to the

Delete operation because the reference of the component no longer exists

within the Bill Of Material.

Deactivated_ProductA deactivated product.

Unloaded_Product

The geometry of the component disappears. The product is downloaded, itsreferences are missing but the user is able to find them back.
