Symptom

Depending on the ECTR window an assembly is opened in / loaded into CAD from, different components may be loaded in CAD.

 

Reason

Up until ECTR 5.1.12, when opening the assembly from the desktop window, the explosion scenario "CAD_LOAD" was used. When opening the assembly from the assembly window, the assembly is loaded as if it had been exploded before in the assembly window. For the explosion, the explosion scenario "CTX_VIEW" is used.

That means: When opening an assembly via the assembly window in CAD, the BOD is not exploded again. The already resolved structure from the assembly window is loaded into CAD.

Solution

With 5.1.13, now more functions to open assemblies exist in the assembly window:

When opening a document from the assembly window in CAD, it is now possible to load the structure the same way as it is loaded from the desktop window.

If a load configuration is in place, this is automatically recognized and the current structure is loaded without exploding it anew.

Now four different ways of opening an assembly in CAD have been implemented.

Please copy the following functions from the menu.guidef to your own customization accordingly:

FunctionNameDescription
fnc.doc.open.fast.viewOpen OriginalThis option allows you to open the assembly read-only in CAD not using the explosion rules of the assembly window.
fnc.doc.open.fast.editOpen Original for EditThis option allows you to open the assembly for edit in CAD not using the explosion rules of the assembly window.
fnc.doc.open.fast.as.displayed.viewOpen Original as displayedThis option allows you to open the assembly read-only in CAD using the explosion rules of the assembly window.
fnc.doc.open.fast.as.displayed.editOpen Original for Edit as displayed (aka legacy Open Original for Edit)This option allows you to open the assembly for edit in CAD using the explosion rules of the assembly window.
