MANAGEMENT OF A DISPLAY OF AN ASSEMBLY MODEL

摘要

A method and apparatus for managing a display of an assembly model (112). The assembly model (112) is displayed in an initial state (124) within a first display area (108) in a graphical user interface (106). A first display state (140) of an item (138) of the assembly model (112) is changed to a second display state (141) within the first display area (108) in response to receiving a first type of input (131). The second display state (141) of the item (138) of the assembly model (112) is changed to a third display state (142) within the first display area (108) in response to receiving a second type of input (132). An entry (156) is added to an assembly hierarchy (114) within a second display area (110) in the graphical user interface (106) in response to the second display state (141) of the item (138) changing to the third display state (142).
