View and Edit the Product Structures of the Item Database
General
- If you edit product database data using this function, the changes will not be updated in the assembly model data.
- The data in the parts list of a drawing is collected from the model when the product data management system Vertex Flow is not used.
- If Vertex Flow is used, the parts list data is collected from the item's product structure stored in Flow.
- The Product Structure must not contain a blank item that has minus signs (-) as its code. Blank items will cause errors in the product structures.
