Restoring the Original Design Position

This procedure describes how to restore a part which may have been moved during the creation of a simulation to its original design position.

In a multi-user, concurrent engineering scenario, a position saved in the database may not be synchronized with the position saved in the detailing due to modifications of a concurrent user. You may display the displaced positions in a list by using the Restore Selected Design States option of the Restore Design Positions command The list is divided into a section for the products and a section for the resources.

You may either restore all parts or a selected number of parts to the design position.

To perform this procedure, you must have the PPR tree or a PERT chart visible and a process loaded.

  1. Click Restore Design Positions .

    The Restore Design States dialog box appears:
  2. Select Restore Selected Design States.
    The Restore Design States dialog box expands.

  3. Click on those items whose design positions you want restored.

    You can select the displaced parts displayed in the list and it is also possible to multi-select several objects using the Ctrl key or Shift key.

    The selected items are highlighted and the Products/Resources Selected counter shows the number of items selected.  If you select an already-selected product as part of multi-selection (i.e., using the Ctrl key or Shift key), the product is removed from the selection; selection acts as a toggle.)
  4. Click OK to restore the design states.

    The parts return to their original positions in the 3D viewer.
