Support Compatibility Tab

The Support Compatibility tab defines which associated ancillaries are available to the user for each particular ancillary type.

The fields at the top of the window display details for the currently selected ancillary. Refer to Standard Tab for further information.

Each ancillary type is associated with a particular support class. For example, an AT01 is associated with a welded shoe support class. The support class of the selected ancillary displays at the top right of the Supports Ancillary Data window.

Only one of each compatible ancillary support class can be added to an ancillary. For example, to add both a stop and a guide to a shoe, set (on the shoe) the compatible ancillaries support classes to 'STOP FOR SHOE' and 'GUIDE FOR SHOE' and then set the support classes of the stop and the shoe.

The list of available support classes contains all available support classes.

The list of compatible support classes contains all available support classes that are compatible with the currently selected ancillary.

To make a support class available, select an item in the list of available support classes and click the right arrow at the side of the list. The item is transferred to the adjacent list. Click the left arrow to reverse the action.

The list of compatible ancillaries contains all compatible ancillaries (populated from the selections made in the list of compatible support classes).

The list of restricted ancillaries allows you to specify the ancillaries that are excluded during support creation.

To exclude an ancillary from support creation, select an item in the list of compatible ancillaries and click the right arrow at the side of the list. The item is transferred to the adjacent list. Click the left arrow to reverse the action.

The combination of the lists defines the ancillary types that the user can select from.
