Specifies the rule criteria used for the collar.

  • The software reevaluates the selection rules after any change occurs to the values, when you select a new object, or when you open a different property page.

  • You can resize the columns by sliding the divider in the heading row.

Class

Displays the name of the rule class.

Question

Displays questions asked by the rule.

Answer/Result

Defines the results of the rules and the answers to questions asked by the rules. The default results and answers are determined by the rule class. Each row represents a result or answer that is cumulatively defined by the preceding rows. The Answer/Result box is not editable if Rule Based is selected.

Rule Based

Defines when a question is rule-driven. This option is selected by default for each question.

  • Select to always use the default rule-based answer or result. For an existing object, if a change in the model requires a recalculation of the rule, then the answer is changed to the new default.

  • Clear to manually select an answer or result. For an existing object, if a change in the model requires a recalculation of the rule, then the manually-selected answer is not changed to the new default. If the manually selected answer is not in the list of valid answers, then the new default is used.

    If multiple existing objects are selected and a row contains a mix of rule-based and non-rule-based answers/results, then the Answer/Result box is blank, and the Rule Based check is unavailable, as shown in the following example.

  1. Click the Rule Based box to clear and remove the rule-based value for all objects.

  2. Click the Rule Based box again to select and set all objects to rule based.
