The Consistency Tab on the Rule Properties Dialog defines consistency check criteria and specifies the copying guidelines for property values between items when you create relationships. Each row defines one pair of properties to copy and compare. You can enter as many rows as necessary.

Inconsistency indicators display the results of Consistency Checking. If the items do not satisfy one or more of the consistency criteria, the inconsistency indicator changes to either a warning or an error symbol.

The software copies property values only when you create a relationship. You create relationships when you place an item on another item or connect items in a drawing. You can place items from Catalog Explorer, the Engineering Data Editor, or by moving a placed item into a new position. The software also compares property values whenever you change any property. This validation process can happen many times during the lifetime of an item.

If you have already specified information on the Consistency Tab before changing a filter on the Items tab, you lose all the information on the Consistency tab.
