Scope of conversion structure

Definition

Sets the scope of a BOM structure is part of a conversion.

Use

If the document belongs to a BOM structure the converter needs not only the original but also other files from the structure. Here you set how deep the structure is expanded and which files must be checked out.

Dependencies

If you want the conversion to take place automatically you must either set the expansion to not required or unique.

A document structure without a change number can be unique, for example.
If other parameters are needed such as change numbers or characteristics values the conversion can only take place in the following situations:

• Setting:One original application file is required).

• No AutoStart. The converter does not start automatically.

Example

• If you only want to convert individual objects of a certain document type that has a certain status choose the setting one original application file.
  In this case only one original application file is checked out.

• If you want to convert an assembly node and the original application files under it in the BOM structure choose the setting Completetree.
  In this case all files from the structure tree are ckecked out.
  The converter creates transformation matrices that are assigned to nodes.
