3.1.7.1.1. Columns with value range fields

Some parts have Value range variables in addition. For those no fixed value is specified.

In order to completely specify the characteristic, value ranges have to be specified in addition.

Columns with value range fields are marked with an icon .

The selected row shows the respective icon as well. In order to enter a certain value, click on the icon .

-> The value range dialog is opened.

[Note] Note

With existing ERP integration the value cannot be changed once an ERP number has been applied.

-> The value range dialog will not be opened.

Instead, use the "neutral" row beside.

Depending on part specifications the dialog will look differently.

When changing a table entry the depiction in the 3D view is also immediately changed.

  • Value range: In the opened dialog enter the desired value within the value range or select the value via slider. After this confirm by clicking on the green checkmark.

    The red line depicts the default value. By clicking on it, the default can be restored anytime.

  • Selection of discrete values: In the list field, select the desired option and confirm by clicking on the green checkmark.

  • Selection of discrete values with preview images:

    In some value range fields graphics can be used for exemplification.

Meanings of colors at value range columns

Depending on pre-settings, the symbols of value range columns (fields) possibly show different colors:

  • Yellow = Geometry attribute

    The Geometry attribute is used for attributes that have an influence on the geometry; for example, if the geometry of the part or assembly changes due to the variable (e.g., maximum stroke length), or components are added/subtracted (e.g. "sensor yes/no" or "option on/off).

  • Orange = Function attribute

    The function attribute is used for rod positioning and angularity, everything which defines a mechanical movement in a part/assembly (for example, the rod positioning of a cylinder).

  • Dark yellow = Dimension attribute

    The dimension attribute is used for half finished parts and profiles that are manufactured in running meter.
