Entity Editor

Edits can be made for a single part or component or multiple parts and components. If a component is selected, the Entity Editor displays component specific attributes.

The attributes available in the Entity Editor vary based on the entity type selected.

Part/Part Assembly

General Data: Displays attributes that are unique to the part or assembly, including part/assembly name, Unique ID (UID), color, and include file, and Revision data.; Parts and part assemblies require a unique name and a unique identifier (UID), both of which can contain alphanumeric characters. The UID is an optional field that is utilized in part representation management and import model entity management. For example, when merging a component with a part (module), the two entities will be matched using the UID if it exists. If a UID does not exist, merging will be based on the part name.
Representations Data: Displays attributes that are specific to a part representation, such as representation name, file location, property ID, material ID/name, and thickness. These attributes are non-editable at the part level.
Position Data: Displays the 4 x 3 transformation matrix of a part, namely its translation, rotation, and scaling. These attributes are non-editable.
Library Data: Displays the Major, Study, and Library revisions of the representations. The comment saved along with the representation is displayed here.
PDM Data: Displays PDM attributes that were parsed as metadata during the BOM importation, such as PDM ID, PDM Revision, PDM Variant Condition and PDM Variant Scope. This information, namely the PDM PID, PDM MID, PDM Material and PDM Thickness, is used to generate the initial component, property, and material cards upon creation of the common representation. These attributes can be used to cross-reference common and discipline specific mesh representation attributes.

Part Set

General Data: Displays attributes that are unique to the part set, including part/assembly name and ID.
Part Assemblies / Parts Data: Displays the number of parts organized into the selected part set.; Click the Part Assemblies/Part field to select parts and part assemblies to organize into the selected part set. Select entities in the Select Part Assemblies/Parts dialog, or from the graphics area when the Parts selector is enabled.
Part Sets Data: Displays the number part sets organized into the selected part set.; Click the Part Sets field to select part sets to organize into the selected part set. Select entities in the Select Part Sets dialog, or from the graphics area when the Partsets selector is enabled.

Configuration

General Data: Displays attributes that are unique to the configuration, including name, and ID.
Parts Assemblies / Parts Data: Displays the number of parts organized into the selected configuration.; Click the Part Assemblies/Part field to select parts and part assemblies to organize into the selected configuration. Select entities in the Select Part Assemblies/Parts dialog, or from the graphics area when the Parts selector is enabled.
Configurations Data: Displays the number of configurations organized into the selected configuration.; Click the Configurations field to select other configurations to organize into the selected configuration. Select entities in the Select Configurations dialog, or from the graphics area when the Configurations selector is enabled.
Part Sets Data: Displays the number part sets organized into the selected configuration.; Click the Part Sets field to select part sets to organize into the selected configuration. Select entities in the Select Part Sets dialog, or from the graphics area when the Partsets selector is enabled.
Active: Indicates the active/inactive state of the selected configuration. This attribute is non-editable. To activate a configuration, enable the configuration’s associated checkbox in the Active column of the Configuration view.
