If you do not see the column DMU you must increase the size of the screen section of the object browser to the right.

End of the note.

You can use the check-boxes to hide or display individual components in the DMU column or use the context menu.

Displaying Components Using Check-Boxes

Click on the check-box to display or hide a component . The viewer is displayed as soon as the first check-box is activated.

You can see which assemblies and components are currently being displayed in the viewer by looking at the check-boxes.

Note Note

When you activate the check-box for an item, the system automatically activates the check-boxes for the subordinate assembly. This displays that the data came from this assembly.

The advantage of this is that you can always recognize which assembly’s data is currently being displayed, even when you collapse the partial tree under the assembly.
