OpenBridge Modeler

Component Overview

Component Overview shows you the hierarchical structure of the model and is basically identical to the component list in DetailCenter (both lists are synchronized). Here you can however also find the version history of all changes to the components.

Component version history

Each component has an internal version number complete with a list of changes, and this number increases each time a document is created or updated. This means you can tell precisely which revisions were made following a release of the component.

Update document

If a component is changed, you can automatically update it on the drawing documents which contain this component.

To do this, select Update 2D-drawing from the pop-up menu. The component is then reworked and replaced in the documents.

Updating does not however result in an updating of the entire document. Only the individual component is dealt with and there is also no new version of the document.

Display document

To do this, select Open 2D-drawing from the pop-up menu. The drawing file that contains the component is then opened. If you have inserted the component in several drawings, you will receive a list of all the files to select from.

In this example a hole and then a complex shape was added to the part item number 1

As this part has now been changed, the relevant group also receives an revision entry (group change due to changed group part). If item number 1 is now updated, the group initially remains changed.
