This version update contains new features:

Rule-Based Organizer 

Note: Business Premium license is required to create and edit rule-based groups. 

Now it is possible to create new type of organizer groups: Create rule-based group option is available both in the Organizer panel and in the Data table:

Organizer groups are a user created hierarchical structure for grouping model objects together for quick access using object linking. Until now, linking objects to Organizer groups has been a manual process. The new rule-based organizer groups feature makes the object linking process more automatic by allowing the user to create a rule by which the hierarchical organizer group is automatically created by the application. 

Rule definition

The Rule definition has up to 5 parts in it

1. Select Models
2. Select “Parts” or “Top level assemblies”
3. Group by one or more properties (both model properties and custom properties are supported)
4. Add custom coloring for the groups (optional)
5. Apply a data table filter to limit the results (only available when creating the rule-based group using the data table)

After the rule is saved, the application creates the Organizer group and subgroups and links model objects into the subgroups based on the rule. When you click a rule-based organizer group in the Organizer panel, the associated models are loaded in the 3D viewer. To show the coloring, click the icon in front of the rule-based group name.

Updating the rule

After a new model version is uploaded, or custom properties are edited, the rule-based organizer group must be updated by clicking the “Update group” option in the context menu

Organizer access control

The Organizer access control is available for the rule-based organizer groups. Use it for example to give read only access to most user groups and edit access only to few.

Known limitation

At the moment of launch, only the English language is supported in the Rule-based Organizer.. Localization of other languages will be added soon.

More information about the Rule-based organizer feature is available in the Workflow Extensions User Guide.
