Closing Objects

You can close an object and, when relevant, propagate the modifications made to this object prior to closing it.

  1. Select PLM Access > Close or click the Close button.


    • If the current editor does not contain any modifications, then the editor is directly closed.
    • If the current editor contains modifications that exist in other editors of the current session, then the editor is directly closed.

      No notification is displayed to inform you that the modified component in the editor about to be closed is still present in other editors.

      For instance, let's suppose a drawing assembly that has been modified then opened in a new window. If the Drawing window is closed first, no message prompts you to propagate the modification because the modification is also present in the Drawing assembly window.

    • If the current editor contains modifications that are candidates for a propagation and that do not exist in any other editor of the current session, then the Close dialog box appears.

  2. Optional: If the Close dialog box opens, click:

    • Yes to directly propagate all modifications before closing the editor.
    • No to close the editor without propagating modifications.
    • Cancel to cancel the closure.

    Warning: The Local Save capability is not available when closing an object. It is only available when exiting a session through PLM Access > Exit.
