Bulk Costing Menu Reference

The Bulk Costing & Analysis window provides the following commands and features on both the right-click context menu and the Edit menu. Some of these features are also available as fields in Bulk Costing tabular user.

Menu Command	Description
Copy Entire Table Copy Paste	(Edit menu only) Copy applies to the currently selected row(s). Copy Entire Table is useful for capturing all contents of the window for pasting into a spreadsheet or other document. Paste copies clipboard data into the table. See Editing bulk costing inputs above for details.
Create This Row	Create a new row in the Bulk Costing & Analysis UI using an existing row as a starting point.
Edit Production Info Edit Administrative Info Edit Quoted Cost Edit Process Routing Edit Cost Overrides Summary Edit Process Setup Options	For Production Info, Administrative Info, and Quoted Cost, see the description at Using the Cost Object Info window. For Process Routing, see Selecting a process routing. For Cost Overrides, see Cost overrides summary dialog. For Process Setup Options, see Editing process setup options.
Make Official Undo Make Official	Specify whether the selected scenario is to be made the scenario that by default gets rolled into its parent assembly or roll-up. See the description for the Scenario menu in the main UI; see Working with scenarios.
Make Active (Scenario) Make Inactive (Scenario)	Specify the selected scenario is automatically updated with CAD changes. See the description for the Scenario menu in the main UI at Working with scenarios.
Extract GCDs Do Not Extract GCDs	Controls whether aPriori should re-extract the latest geometry of the CAD model. If you are sure that the geometry of a component’s CAD file has not changed since the last time the part was costed and saved in the aPriori database, then you can choose to not extract GCDs. aPriori uses the previously saved set of GCDs without re-analyzing the CAD model, reducing the total amount of time required for aPriori to cost the component.
Deep Cost Undo Deep Cost	Set whether deep costing is enabled. See Scenario support fields for more details.
Edit Processing Input Rule...	Specify how aPriori should handle existing scenarios. See the description at Scenario support fields for more details.
Ignore Undo Ignore	If a component scenario is set to "ignore", the component scenario will not be costed even if it is a sub-component of a deep costing assembly. See the section "A note about Ignore, Hide, and their effect on costing" in the aPriori Cost Model Guide for more details.
Ignore Excel Inputs Undo Ignore Excel Inputs	Controls whether fields in the Bulk Costing & Analysis UI are updated from the Excel input file or can be edited locally. See Editing and adding components from a bulk cost group for more details.
Select Image File	Available on the context menu only. Specify the full path of a 2D image file to associate with a CAD-less (virtual) part or assembly. See Associating an image without a CAD file for more details.
