Assembly Document Structure

The command “SS: Save Model Structure” allows building the structure of a T-FLEX CAD assembly
document. The result can be viewed in the command's window or written to a text file “*.str”.
The command is called as:
Keyboard Textual menu Icon
«Tools|Special Data|Structure»
After calling the command, the dialog window appears on the screen for defining parameters of the structure
building process.
First of all, one needs to select the method of displaying the
resulting structure – in the command's dialog or in a
separate text file. For this, set the appropriate option −
either “Show in Dialog” or “Write to File”.
If writing to file was selected, then you need to specify the
following additional parameters:
File name. This parameter specifies the file name and
location, in which the document structure will be
written. The button allows browsing for an existing
file to write to.
Output Fragments of. This parameter allows selecting the nesting depth of the
fragments included in the assembly structure – either only the fragments at the First
level of nesting or the entire tree of fragments (All levels).
Besides the assembly structure proper, additional information can be written to the file that relates to the
enclosed fragments of the first level of nesting. Its availability and contents are determined by the state of
the flags “Output Fragment comments”, “Output fragment marked Variable values”, “Output
fragment marked Variable comments”.
Upon defining all parameters, click the [OK] button to get the document structure. If outputting to a file,
the system will write the results of the document structure analysis to the specified external file, and then exit
the command.
If in the dialog display mode, a window will appear that will contain the document structure.
