Suppressing a heat map menu item

You can turn off the display of a heat map menu item using the cslRuleForAction="false" attribute setting. This can be combined with some condition statements to selectively turn off the menu item only under certain circumstances.

1. Open configHeatMap.xml in an editor and scroll down to the line defining the menu item you wish to suppress. For example, <HeatMapToolSpec name="concentricity">.

2. Insert the cslRuleForAction condition inside the closing angle bracket to suppress the line. For example:

   <HeatMapToolSpec name="concentricity" cslRuleForAction="false">

   Save the file When you finish and restart aPriori. The “Concentricity” menu item is now missing from the list of tolerances.

   

3. To suppress the menu item for only a particular process group, add some conditions to the line. For example, to suppress this menu item except when there is a scenario open in the Sheet Metal process group:

   Copy

   <HeatMapToolSpec name=" concentricity " 
   cslRuleForAction="{ false if (currentlyOpenScenario == null )  
   true if ( currentlyOpenScenario.processGroup.name == 'Sheet Metal'  ) ) 
   false otherwise }" />
