Filtering the

Objects Displayed in a Diagram

The Design Filter Dialog enables you to filter the objects displayed in a diagram so that only the design elements included in particular vehicle options or a vehicle configuration are displayed. This enables the creation of dynamic evaluated designs.

Option filter settings apply only to individual open diagrams and they are not saved when you close a diagram. When it is opened again, it reverts to the default setting of no filtering.

Filtering does not change design data. The effect of filtering an object out of the diagram is limited to the following:

• It is not displayed in the diagram.

• It is not selectable.

• Stretches and manipulations of visible objects never result in a connection to the invisible object.

• Cross-references to invisible objects are still displayed and following the cross-reference opens the other diagram but the invisible object is not selected.

Procedure

1. Open the diagram.

2. Either:Press Space Bar and enter Filter platform design

Click the filtering icon () on the Status Bar

The Design Filter facility is displayed.

3. Select one of the following Filter options:No Filtering Display all objects for every possible configuration of the vehicle.

By Configuration Display only objects from one configuration. Ensure that you are showing the filter options (Show Filter Options) and add the configuration to the Selected window. To select the configuration whose objects you want to display, click on it in the Available window and click the Add button to move it to the Selected window. If a configuration is displayed in the Selected window already, it is moved back to the Available window automatically. If you wish to remove the configuration from the Selected window, click Remove to move it to the Available window.

Graphics by Option / Custom Filter Display only objects that have been assigned particular options. Ensure that you are showing the filter options (Show Filter Options) and add the options to the Selected window. Caution When you select an option here, the diagram will still include objects that are not explicitly set to not be included with that option. For example, when an option A is selected, then this includes all objects that are not set to !A (for example, B, C, blank, and so on). You cannot use this filter to display only objects that have option A. However, you can use the Find and Replace facility to locate only objects with option A. See Finding and Replacing Property Values, Attribute Values and Symbols.

If you want to display objects with no assigned option expressions, select Show Non-Optioned Objects. The visibility of slot portals depends on the visibility of the slot. Note If no options are in the Included column, only objects with no option expression are displayed in the diagram.

4. Click the OK button; the filtering is applied and the filtering icon on the status bar at the bottom of the application window displays the icon for the filtering that you have selected.
