Maintain Active Configurations in Index Mode

Why 
Improved visualization capabilities of model configurations while in Index Mode

How

You can now navigate a specific configuration of a product structure.

Note that 3D Compose does not support configuration data in either Index or Author mode and Product Explorer is recommended when authoring is not required.



Keep the User Sort Persistent When Attaching Multiple Data to a Product

Why
Improved control of grid views through consistent display of data

How

You can now sort the active column in the grid view and it remains persistent when a new item is pasted or drag & dropped into the grid view.

Drag & drop and paste operations give the user more options in choosing the sorting criteria before attaching the data to a product.


Grouping with 6WTags in Index Mode

Why 
Organize and refine your product structures using groups based on tags

How

You can now organize the 1st level of your product structure by creating groups in 6WTags

First level objects that do not have a value corresponding to the selected 6WTag will be placed in a group named Other.


Support of Hierarchical 6WTags

Why 
Create and organize a flat product structure into a hierarchical view for better understanding of the content

How

You can now create and use hierarchical tags to enhance the view of a flat product structure using groups.

There are 2 different views for hierarchical groups:

  Compact Group Layout - the selected groups inside the tagger are created directly below the root.

  Structured view Layout - the selected groups inside the tagger are created with their hierarchy from the root classification.



Download Documents from the Data Grid View

Why 
Streamline access to documents attached to the product structure
