Keywords:
NOCHECK WITHIN
Description:
By default, no checks are made for clashes between items owned by the same Structure, Substructure, or Equipment. In addition, you may use the NOCHECK and WITHIN commands to tell Design to ignore all clashes within one or more other specific types of element.
All clashes below each element of the specified types will be ignored during the checking operation, whatever the hierarchic level of the clashing items. Clashes specified in this way are ignored during the actual clash-checking operation and are not therefore available in memory for inclusion in subsequent output reports.

Examples: |
|
|---|---|
|
NOCHECK WITHIN BRAN |
Ignores clashes within individual Branches (but still reports clashes between items in different Branches). |
|
NOCHECK FRMW |
Ignores clashes within individual Frameworks (but still reports clashes between items in different Frameworks). |
|
WITHIN FRMW |
Restores clash checking within Frameworks; that is, it cancels a previous NOCHECK FRMW command. |
|
WITHIN EQUI |
Restores clash checking within individual items of Equipment (which are not checked by default). |
