EXCHANGE

Purpose:

This function is to enable a user to exchange one or more model parts in the current drawing with model parts from the data bank.

Instructions:

1. The user commences this process by identifying the model part to be replaced with the aid of the cursor and clicking the left-hand button on the mouse once. The user can also click the Options button and type in the name of the model to exchange.

2. The system responds by drawing a small box around the selected part, in the view that the user has chosen in order to make the identification, and then by presenting the user with a simple 'Question' dialog box in which they can signify if the identification is correct.

   If the user then keys-in 'Yes', signifying that the correct part has been identified, he is then presented with a dialog box asking the user to identify which actual part is to be exchanged, namely All, Confirm one by one, or Only indicated. This is to allow for the possibility that there may be more than one model part of the same name in the region that was originally indicated by the user.

3. The system then presents the user with a simple dialog box containing the names of possible replacement parts and from which the user is required to select the appropriate one.

Options:

There are no options available within this function.

Result:

A model part within a drawing is exchanged for another model part contained within the data bank.
