In the display options you can choose to display in the CAD desktop the following information from the CAD system, either as additional information, or to be downloaded.

• Drawings

• Suppressed components
• References (not yet fully implemented)

You use suppressed components in large assemblies, when the majority of parts are not subject to a continuous change cycle, and generally stay constant. You can also mark these parts with a "Suppressed" indicator in the CAD system. They are not loaded, and cannot be seen in the assembly. The indicator is visible in the document info record, in the sort field. You can decide in the display options whether suppressed components are to be shown or hidden in the SAP view of the CAD desktop.

If drawings exist for a CAD model, you can display them in the SAP view, or download them in the CAD view. The system can also access drawings that are not open, and display them in the CAD desktop.

To be able to load drawings, CAD models and drawings (depending on the CAD interface) need to be stored under the same file name.

In the display options for the CAD desktop you can:

• In the SAP view

• Display suppressed components
• Display drawings
