3.1.6.10.1. Call part comparison / Taking over parts into part comparison

In the following you can see different ways to call the part comparison, to take over parts into the part comparison:

  • You can transfer parts into the part comparison via Drag & Drop :

    1. From the tabbed page Part selection (modes Symbols , Details ) or Search results (modes Symbols , Details Table .

    2. From the tabbed page Part view, from the table. (In this way a later adjustment of the characteristic is not necessary.)

      Example

      Example

    Simply select the desired part or table row and draw the cursor over the tab Part comparison with pressed mouse button.

    -> Once the cursor position is over the tab, the symbol changes and the part is loaded into the part comparison.

    There are 2 different modes:

    • If you release the mouse key within a second over the tab Part comparison the part is overtaken but there is no changeover to the part comparison so that you can select further parts.

    • If you stay over the tab Part comparison longer than a second, the application switches into the part comparison. If you then release the mouse key the part is overtaken into the part comparison.

  • You can overtake parts into the part comparison via context menu command .

    You can find the respective context menu commands both in the Standard search and in the Cloud Map search.

    You can find the respective context menu commands in all display modes:

    • Load part from Part view -> Table via context menu command

    • Load part from Part view -> 3D view via context menu command

    • Load part from "Partition Map" search

  • On the tabbed page Search results, in Details mode, buttons are displayed if you move the mouse over lines.

    The number of displayed buttons depends on the context.
