Scans the active dataset for one of the part type
files:
- Paz
Files – reads current dataset and identify any invalid PAZ parts.
- Bxc
Files – reads current dataset and identify any invalid or missing
BXC parts.
- Bxf
Files – reads current dataset and identify any invalid or missing
BXF parts.
- Compound
Parts – reads current dataset and identify any invalid or missing
compound parts.

Files – reads current dataset and identify any invalid or missing
CEL parts.
When selected, the utility scans the files of selected type
and brings the resultant list of files needing attention in the
Files being Modified pane. The part and
family validation adds flag to files with Parts & families that are not
found in the dataset. Scanning for valid parts file, will prompt before
scanning. The previous list will be replaced for the recent type of scan. The
invalid parts available for mapping to equivalent are also listed.

Part and Family Replacement

cell components of the selected file. The new family and part columns list new
part family definitions populated from the dataset. Invalid parts are flagged
in red, and the default part candidates are retained in grey, whereas the
suggested part for mapping is displayed in bold. In case of scanned outcome,
only invalid parts will be shown. When you map New Family and Part assignments
against each of invalid parts for replacement, the utility prepares the
existing assignments for replacement with the new assignments.
