2.5.1.1.2.  Duplicate analysis: Enhanced filter

For a duplicate analysis, in the index tree, on directory level, call the context menu command Analysis -> Create duplicate analysis....

This will open the same-named dialog box.

Up to now the Variable filter has only been a "positive" filter, where same variable values indicated a duplicate.

However, there are also cases, where unequal values indicate a duplicate.

[Note]Note

With exclamation mark ! before variable name, values have to be different in order to identify a duplicate.

Use cases

  • Example 1 

    Part1.Material = Steel
Part2.Material = Steel

    ➝ This is a duplicate.

    Part1.Material = Steel 
Part2.Material = Wood

    ➝ This is no duplicate.

    In this case the variable filter is set to MATERIAL (The entry in the table column "Material" must be the same to be identified as duplicate.)

  • Example 2 

    Teil1.Filename = xy123.prt
Teil2.Filename = xy123.prt

    ➝ The part is NO duplicate. It has only been saved twice. So it shall be excluded from the result list.

    In this case the variable filter is set to !FILENAME (The entry in a table column "Filename" must be unequal to be identified as a duplicate.)

Details on duplicate analysis can be found under Section 3.1.14.2, “ Duplicate Analysis ” in PARTsolutions - User manual.
