These components can then be moved, copied, deleted, and otherwise operated upon as a single entity. Components, even entire drawings, can be nested under higher- level components. An operator can navigate this hierarchy and operate at any level. When viewing an assembly drawing, an operator can select a lower level component, such as an individual part, and have LDX automatically find and activate the drawing of that part. Even these user defined panels support hierarchy.
Users have complete freedom to organize libraries to meet their own specifications.
The use of component libraries provides storage efficiency, rapid retrieval of existing designs, greater control over the design process, and avoids the expense of redesigning already existing parts. User Formattable Reports LDX allows a user to generate reports according to a previously specified format. Reports can be output as text files or as a detail page. Multiline, lines, and textlines are used to represent connections. An optional rubberband feature maintains connections to components as the components are dynamically moved around.
