Checking the integrity of the structure

You can run the following checks to verify the integrity of the structure you built:

• Accountability check You can open two associated structures and run an accountability check to verify if all occurrences in the publish link are mapped. For information about how to make an accountability check, see Running accountability checks. When running an accountability check for this purpose, select the Treat occurrences connected via Publish Link as same check box and clear the Treat same absolute occurrence as same check box. Occurrences of a part that do not require a design have publish links and are shown as Missing source. Use the Requires Positioned Design column in one of the structure editor applications to identify such occurrences. Take care to differentiate occurrences that require a positioned design and do not yet have a publish link from those that do not require a design at all. Note The default properties for the accountability check are controlled by the DefaultAccountabilityCheckProperties preference. Select the exact properties for comparison in the Accountability Check dialog box.

• Completeness check You can run a completeness check on a part structure to identify if all part occurrences that require aligned designs have them. The check also identifies if a transform or shape is published and a primary design is associated with the part. The number of levels in the structure that the completeness check traverses is determined by the value of the PartStructureDepthForCompletenessCheck preference.
