  • Hide Node / Delete node

    • Hide Node (context menu or middle mouse button): This command is available on child nodes where no further searches have been processed.

      With this command you can hide not relevant results. If a node is hidden, then further searches from the same node will not display it again.

      Searches from other nodes can find it regardless.

    • Delete node (context menu) This command is displayed on nodes where a search has already been processed.

      If a node is deleted, all its child nodes are also deleted.

    With the Undo button you can cancel both commands again.

    With single-click on a node you can move it.

    With double-click on a node the GeoSearch is started.

  • Common context

    Under Common context you can find the same context menu commands which are found in the Standard Search.

    If you start Geometrical search for this part for example, a standard search is processed. Using the Cloud Navigator Search is not a one way street. You can switch between Standard Search and Cloud Navigation Search anytime.

    In the Cloud Navigation Search you can reach the part comparison via Common context -> Part comparison. Details on this you can find under Section 3.1.6.10, “ Part comparison ”.
