Browse and find a component

Browsing the Aletiq parts is done using the search bar and filters, as in the web application interface:

View or edit a component

  1. By clicking on View, the plugin will open the part in view mode, without creating a new revision in Aletiq. The Active part pane at the bottom of the window does not allow to save the part in Aletiq:

  2. By clicking on Edit, Aletiq creates a new draft revision of the part to be edited and locks it 🔒 so that other users cannot edit it anymore
    ​
    If it is an assembly it is possible to select the components to be modified which will be blocked and for which a new draft revision will be created.
    ​

    In the active component pane, the synchronized status indicates whether the part opened for modification must be saved in Aletiq before leaving. The save button is used to save the modifications made to the part in Aletiq.
    ​

  3. By clicking on Insert, Aletiq inserts the component in the open assembly. This feature is only available when an assembly is open in Aletiq.
