Switch and save traceability confirmation target

Overview

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

The arrangement and presence/absence of models and trace lines displayed on the trace page are called Trace View Settings.

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

• Switch model order
• Save model order
• Specify the model to check
• Specify the trace line to check
• Export trace configuration information
• Import trace setting information

Switch model order

To add trace setting information with a different name so that you can switch between them, do the following:

Operation procedure

1. Click the Edit Trace View Settings icon from the toolbar to display the Trace View Setting dialog.
2. In the dialog, select where to add the trace setting information, press the [Add] button, and enter a name in the [Trace Setting] dialog.
3. Next, press the [Add] button to select the model to be displayed in the lane and add it to the [Trace Series] list.
4. Press the [OK] button in the [Trace Setting] dialog to add the trace setting information with the entered name to the [Trace View Settings] list.
5. When you press the [OK] button in the [Trace View Setting] dialog, the trace setting information with the entered name is saved and can be switched with the [Trace Set] pull-down list on the toolbar.

note

• If you change the configuration of the model displayed in the lane on the trace page, the trace setting information to be displayed will be automatically updated.
• The destination to add the trace setting information can be selected from the project or the user. User-oriented trace configuration information is stored in the {project file name}.nuser file in the same folder as the project file. See below for handling .nuser files.
