I will like to know if its possible to create a new module which will contain links from lets say three different module A, B, C. Module A, B, C have requirement filter for a particular systems, for example propulsion system. I want to create a new module D which will contain the Propulsion system requirements from Module A, B, C and all they need to be connected via links. Please see the attached document for clarification. |
Re: How to Create a New Module from multiple links from different modules I suggest you then add a column to Excel containing the name of the module (A, B or C) against each object. Open module D and create two new attributes to contain the Absolute Number (let's say LinkAttr) and the Module Name (ModName). Import from Excel into new module D. In module D filter by ModName (e.g. A) Use the Link by Attribute function (Link menu, Advanced option) and select LinkAttr as the attribute, module A as the target, an appropriate link module and Target to Source if you really want the links to go in the dircetion shown in your document. Repeat for ModName B and C and you should have a linked set of modules. Note that because of the direction of linking, you will have to have write access to Modules A, B and C to create the links. |
Re: How to Create a New Module from multiple links from different modules Craig_Cordrey - Thu Aug 02 04:35:50 EDT 2012 Below are the steps: 1. Create a new blank Module . 2. Filter modules 1 & 2 so that only the requirements and any other important objects that you want to be in Module 3 are visible. 3. In Module 1, select Tools > Functions > Copy Objects, 4. Select Module 3 as your Target, 5. Set the Copy option to "Current Display Set", 6. Set "New Position" to "After" 7. Select the attributes you want to copy over to Module 3 (Object Heading and Object Text as a minimum), 8. Select the "Create Links" check box, 9. Select the desired direction of the links and then select OK. 10. Repeat for Module 2 but you will need to open Module 3 and select the object that represents the "New Position" of where the copied objects from Module 2 will be positioned - either "After" that selected object or "One Level below" 11. Now Module 3 has a composite and linked copy of the objects in Modules 1 and 2. |
