Select Alternative Operations

Alternative node is an expandable node representing a choice between two or more alternative operations. Each alternative operation represents a separate sequence. aP Pro automatically selects a sequence for costing, but you can manually select a different alternative. Only one sequence can be selected.

When you expand an alternative node:

  • Alternative sequences for this node are displayed based on the selection in the View menu.

  • The node and the entire scope of aPriori auto-select options is surrounded by the Auto border.

If you click OK or Apply at this point, aP Pro automatically select a sequence within the Auto border. You can also select a sequence manually.

  • If you manually select one sequence under the alternative node, the scope of aP Pro auto-select options changes and becomes limited to alternatives within that sequence.
  • Click OK or Apply to let aP Pro select within Auto border or make the selection manually.
