Where to select Published Element

Where to select Published Element

Where to select Published Element

(OP)
May I ask a dumb question?

Once an element has been Published, does it matter whether it is selected in the "Published:" list, or selected directly in the tree?

(This is related to a question I'd had about being able to re-organize the display of the "Published" group - if it doesn't matter whether you select the element from under the "Published" group, or directly from the Tree, then being able to re-organize the "Published" group isn't important.  But this is just a related issue to my question above...)

Thanks.

RE: Where to select Published Element

No, makes no difference where you select it from. It's just that having a list of Published elements at the bottom of the tree can make finding them easier if you're not familiar with the part.

thanks for the reply!  Nice to know this fact.

   In the publication menu you can export the publications to a text file.  open the text file in notepad and re-organize.  Delete all your publications in Catia , import the publications from that text file.  Now you can relink the publication by picking the publication in the menu and selecting the item that was orginally published. (nuisance I know)  I did this to my seed parts and custom templates.

RE: Where to select Published Element

Good trick there Derek! Thanks for sharing it!

Abe: I suggest you set the Tools+Option to "only use published elements"

RE: Where to select Published Element

(OP)
derek - good tip.  Your suggested use (seed parts/custom templates) is exactly what I need it for - parts which won't change much, and you'd like them to be as clearly organized as possible...

jackk - I'm on it.  thanks!  (that's a very nice feature to prevent update problems with contextual links...)

RE: Where to select Published Element

abeschneider -- just thought of something, If you use seed parts/assemblies use the File--> New From command to instantiate a new copy, then rename the parts/assemblies, drag and drop them into your main assembly.  This will generate a new internal UUID number for those parts.  This UUID number is what Catia will use to identify the parts for links,etc...

Regards,
Derek
