To open the Browser Configuration dialog, right-click in the Connector Entity browser, and select Configure Browser from the context menu. Use the options in this dialog to select which columns to display in the browser, and change the way special tools, such as find twin connectors, operate.
Link Column Extended InformationWhen enabled, each link displays its link state (connect to mesh or geometry) and its reconnection rule (use ID, use name, or at fe realize). The reconnect rule is set when the connector is created, and determines what the connector will automatically try to reconnect with when a part is deleted and then replaced.
Max Link Column ViewedRegardless of how many links a connector might have, the browser will only display the specified number of columns.
Find Twin ConnectorsEnables you to dictate the behavior of the find twin connectors tool.
Filter View on Show/Isolate/Find (affects all views)This filter is the only filter that works on both browser lists simultaneously. Once activated, when performing a show, isolate or find operation, the link entity list and the connector list are filtered down to the considered entities. The example below displays the isolation of the windscreen components including their attached connectors. The strings entered in the Query Builder (last_celink_review) and (last_ce_review) illustrate that the lists have been filtered. To remove the filter and display the full lists, click "x" on the right side of the Query Builder. The last review filter can be reused in the Query Builder, and can also combined with other attribute filters. The image below displays a list of available filters for the connector list. |
AutofitUse this option in combination with the other view option toggle buttons and show, hide, isolate, or isolate only, or in combination with the advanced action buttons. After an action is performed, the newly found connectors and/or entities are placed in the middle of the screen. If this option is used in combination with one of the previously mentioned buttons, it works like a pure fit view. In this example, the 1st connector and the link entity were Isolated with the fit view option. Stripe backgroundAlternates the background colors of each line in the browser when selected.
