Fixing Objects In Error

You can edit an object on the To Do List by selecting the object and using the Edit ribbon. To edit an object, you must be in the task environment in which the object was created. After you resolve the inconsistency in an object, Smart 3D automatically removes the entry from the To Do List.

SHARED Tip In Error objects are usually edited one at a time. However, you can also select more than one object if an Edit option supports multiple objects.

Filtering Objects on the To Do List

There are two ways you can filter objects on the To Do List: by discipline type and through the Review Status.

Filter objects on the To Do List by discipline.

  1. Click Properties on the To Do List to display the To Do List Properties Dialog Box.

  2. Specify whether to include or exclude certain objects based on the specified Discipline Information.

Filter objects on the To Do List by review status.

  1. Click Properties on the To Do List to display the To Do List Properties Dialog Box.

  2. Specify whether to include or exclude certain objects based on the specified Display objects las changed by.

Managing the To Do List

It is critical to review the To Do List often to eliminate problems. Ideally, you should have no To Do List records related to objects that you document on design deliverables. We recommend that you do not approve an object if it has a To Do List record.

One way to help you notice To Do List issues while you design is to define a surface style rule that sets the color of items with To Do List records for easy identification. Your administrator can define this style rule tailored for your company for you to use.

It is possible to set to review status of a to do list entry to Ignored using the Ignore button. You may use this option when the software considers something in the model as a violation but the designer wishes to use their judgment to allow it. Ignored entries stay in the database but the user can choose to not display ignored entries.

When your catalog administrator runs Synchronize Model with Catalog so that the actual update of the model is delayed, many of your design objects may be marked as out of date with the current catalog data. You should update and review the impact of these changes before attempting to model additional objects relative to the out of date objects.

When a piping specification is changed in the catalog, all piping runs that use that specification and all run features must update, and are thus added to the To Do List. They are added even if the change to the piping specification does not cause an actual change to the resulting parts and if the piping features and parts are approved. You must update the features and review the impact.
