This task deletes lines from relations, which can be specified as single lines or blocks. If you use regular expressions or wildcards, you can delete multiple feature relations.
The cross-task settings can be found in the chapter General task settings.
Model filter
This task can revise the following models: Parts and Assemblies
The task-specific settings are:
1.Feature Filter
Enter one or more features for which this task applies or does not apply. To build the filter tree, see Filter Tree.
2.Matching Lines
Enter a relation line used to determine whether a relation is deleted above or below. You can use RegEx. The icon 
opens the RegEx Editor.
Imports content from a CSV file to fill the input fields.
All entries are deleted, regardless of whether the entries were made manually or imported from a CSV file.
3.Delete a block of lines
–Start from line
Enter the start line from which you want to begin deleting the feature relations.
–End at line
Enter the end line where you want the deletion of feature relationships to end. All lines between the start line and the end line will be deleted, including the two lines themselves.
–Options: Automatically detect and match end of If block
The end of an If block is automatically detected. The input field End at line is blocked and any existing entries are ignored.
4.Options
–Comment instead of deleting
If this option is enabled, matching feature relations are commented out rather than deleted.
–Disable Failure Checks
If this option is enabled, error checking is disabled when the specified feature relations are deleted. This can cause the relations list to become invalid.
Example settings
Example with If-Block
if (TEST=14)
PARAMETER2 = "HELLO"
endif
Start at line: *if*(TEST=*
End at line: *endif*
* is used here as a wildcard character. It says that all blocks that contain if with the parameter TEST are deleted up to the endif. The wildcard is used here to ignore any blanks as well as the value the TEST parameter is compared to.
To search explicitly for a line that contains an asterisk, you must use **. A single asterisk is ALWAYS interpreted as a wild card. Otherwise, you may use enhanced Regular Expressions.
Option can also be selected to recognize the end of an if block . The associated endif is recognized and used automatically here. This is useful when several if blocks are nested.
Deactivate the error checking function only if you are sure that the errors in the relations do not influence the execution of the newly added lines. The result of the relations would not be reliable and the data quality after rework would not be reliable.
Tip: You can use Variables. |
