Switching and saving traceability check targets

Overview

Next Design's trace page allows you to save multiple models and trace line information to be displayed on the trace page according to the perspective of traceability check, and you can switch the display at any time.

The order of models and trace lines displayed on the trace page, and their presence or absence, are called Trace View Settings.

The following describes how to edit and use trace setting information in the following order.

• Switching the model order
• Saving the model order
• Specifying the model to be checked
• Specifying the trace line to be checked
• Exporting trace setting information
• Importing trace setting information
