Tree Pane 
: Display
Access: Open this function from the following location:
-
Select View > Pane > Tree Pane from the menu bar. (The Tree Pane is displayed by default, except in NC).
The following functions can be invokedinvoked to control the display of the Tree Pane.
 |
|
Show or hide the Tree Pane. |
|
|
Show or hide the upper tree. |
|
|
|
Show or hide the lower tree. |
|
|
|
Show or hide the Search bar on the tree pane. Using the tree search will expand the tree and any parts that meet these conditions will be highlighted in a different color. To quickly locate parts that may require attention, the tree symbols for parts are displayed at every level of the subassembly. Search items in the Tree Pane. The search can be performed in the Assembly environment (including when a part is active) and also the Part environment. The search is performed on the upper and lower trees, if they are visible. |
|
All trees have the option to perform a Tree Search. Using the tree search will expand the tree and any parts that meet these conditions will be highlighted in a different color. To quickly locate parts that may require attention, the tree symbols for parts are displayed at every level of the subassembly. |
The following tree types are displayed in Cimatron:
|
In the Assembly environment, the Assembly tab is displayed. This contains the Assembly Tree. In the Assembly environment, the Tree Pane is divided into upper and lower sections, with the upper section displaying the assembly data and the lower section (the Feature Tree) displaying data (features) on the active file. |
|
|
In the Drafting environment the Tree tab is displayed in the upper section of the tree pane. This contains the Drawing Tree. |
|
|
In the Electrode application, the Electrode tab is displayed in the upper section of the Tree Pane. This contains the Electrode Tree. |
|
|
The Features tab (containing the Feature Tree) and the M-View tab appear in all Cimatron environments except for Drafting. |
|
|
In the Assembly environment, the Groups tab is displayed. This contains the Groups Tree. The Groups Tree is used for creating Groups in the Assembly Tree. The primary use of grouping parts together is for the Motion Simulation function; each group that you define can be given a different direction of motion. Note: Grouping parts can also be useful outside of the Motion Simulation function. A Group provides an alternative to the Assembly Tree for hiding or showing a large number of parts in a single action. While Groups can be used much like an Assembly Set, the Groups Tree offers color and transparency control which is not provided by the Assembly Set pane. Also, unlike Sets, a part can only belong to one group at a time, and parts can be moved between groups by using drag and drop in the tree. |

|
In the Parting application, an additional tab, Parting, is displayed in the upper section of the Tree Pane. This contains the Parting Tree. The Parting Tree is also displayed in the Assembly environment. |
|
|
The Sets tab appears in all applications. The Sets tab appears in the upper and lower sections of the tree pane. The upper section displays the Sets belonging to the main Assembly or Drawing, while the lower pane displays the sets belonging to the active file. If the main assembly is active, both Sets tabs show the same data. |
