2.13.1.1.3.  Part view: New table layout and new features

The Table view has been completely revised. The modern layout fits in the general view. Furthermore a number of new features has been added.

  • Line hight adjustable

    The line hight and so the picture size can be adjusted with pressed Ctrl key and mouse wheel.

    Narrow lines with small preview pictures

    Large lines with large preview images

  • Alternating row colors

  • Document fields

    Document fields are marked with a specific icon (green columns before).

  • Value range fields

    You can recognize value range fields by the respective icon . The icon is only displayed on the active row.

    When clicking on the icon the respective settings dialog opens.

    • Confirm selection

    • Cancel dialog

      When clicking beside the dialog it will be closed as well.

    • Value range: In the opened input field, simply enter a desired value within the value range or choose the value with the slider. Then confirm with a click on the green checkmark.

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

    • Selection of discrete values with preview images:

  • Column sorting ascending and descending

    The first time when loading the table the first column determines the sorting of lines.

    However, you can use any columns as basis for sorting: Once you click into a column header, a small arrow appears. With a click on the arrow you can switch between ascending and descending sorting. The mode is symbolized by the arrow direction.

    Restore original sorting: In a header of any column, open the context menu. Click on Remove sorting.

  • Hide single variable types

    Especially if the table contains a lot of columns, it makes sense to hide not needed columns.

    Simply activate/deactivate the respective checkboxes.

    • ERP variables

      Often an ERP integration brings along a lot of extra columns. However, for the selection of geometrical or topological values these are unneeded.

    • Main variables / Secondary variables

      Main variables are used for the standard name. All other variables are Secondary variables.

      Table with "Main variables" without "Secondary variables"

    • Topology variables

      Topological variables can be displayed beside the standard table information. With the checkbox Topology variables you can activate / deactivate the display if needed. Especially at own part catalogs characteristic values are not necessarily in the characteristic attribute table. In this case the display makes sense in particular.[18]

      Precondition is that the desired topological columns have been determined in the settings dialog. If a Topology search is performed, the respective columns are automatically displayed.

      Call the settings dialog with a click on Settings and activate the checkbox under Show topological values. Then you can activate/deactivate the desired types of topology.

  • Preview images per line in the table view

    More and more catalogs contain preview images per line. Now these are displayed in the Part view. In the search results this was already the case.

  • Filter in column headers

    In the header of each column input fields are displayed. With only a few inputs you can receive the relevant table lines.

    The following syntax can be used in the column header in order to restrict the table:

    • Single value

    • Greater: >

    • Greater equal: >=

    • Smaller: <

    • Smaller equal: <=

    • From to: -

    • (Input of several single values is not possible currently.)

  • Full-text search in the table

    In the input field, enter a search term (numerical, alphanumerical, mixed). (Value range fields are not searched.)

    Directly when entering terms hits are marked with yellow and the first hit is selected.

    • Arrow keys

      With the help of the arrow keys you can move back and forth.

      With a click on F3 you also jump to the next hit.

    • Slider in scrollbar

      In the scrollbar hit ranges are marked with red. Move the slider of the scrollbar on these ranges. Thick red ranges contain many hits on a small space, in the range of thin lines you will only find isolated hits.

  • With a click on the icon the settings dialog for the table is opened.




[18] Missing topological values are not generated on the fly, but available values are displayed. In standard catalogs, mostly this is a certain percentage, in own part catalogs normally topological values are available for all table lines.

In the docking window Topology information topological values are generally displayed.
