Setting the View Type

About Setting the View Type

As you are working within Product Editor you perform such tasks as establishing new part instances and modifying assemblies. In order to accommodate these various activities, Product Editor enables you to set the view type in the instance panel according to your requirements. For example, you open a product (product root class) in Product Editor.  You expand the part instance structure.  You then decide that your purposes would be better served by displaying the part instance structure in a flat tree view.

When Setting the View Type

In order to set the view type, you must first display the views Vertical toolbar. The following table details the available view types:
