Saving the state of the Show Unconfigured buttons

Teamcenter provides you with several buttons or menu options that show or hide objects in the structure and in the Graphics view. These are:

• Show Suppressed Occurrences

• Show Unconfigured Variants

• Show Unconfigured By Occurrence Effectivity

• Show Unconfigured Changes

• Show Unconfigured Assigned Occurrences (only applicable to process assemblies)

• Show GCS Connection Points

• Apply Occurrence Type Filters

Whether these buttons are turned on or off affects what is shown in the Graphics view, and, therefore, affects any product view snapshots created in that view. Teamcenter saves the state of these buttons so that when a product view is restored, the same objects are displayed in the Graphics view as when the snapshot was created. The state of these buttons is stored in a configuration context.

When you create a new configuration context or save an existing configuration to a configuration context, you can specify the state of the first four of these buttons (On or Off), or you can specify that the state is Preference-driven. The following preferences specify the state of these Show Unconfigured buttons:

• MEShowSuppressedOccsDefaultState

• MEShowUnconfiguredVariantsDefaultState

• MEShowUnconfiguredOccurrencesEffectivityDefaultState

• MEShowUnconfiguredChangesDefaultState

• MEShowUnconfiguredAssignedOccurrencesDefaultState

You can also view or change the state of all options in the configuration context properties.

Note

When applying or restoring a configuration context that contains the Preference-Driven entry for the Show Unconfigured buttons, Teamcenter respects the settings of the structure to which the configuration context is being applied or for which the configuration context is being restored and does not change the state of the buttons to reflect the MEShowUnconfigured... preferences. When you open a structure or collaboration context containing a configuration context where all values are set to Preference-Driven, the structure view opens with the states of the Show Unconfigured buttons reflecting the values of the preferences.
