SUPPORT Q&A - Complete classification hierarchy shows up in part type

BMoberg - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 7:30 AM:

Hello,

I tried to find answers about this but it seems there isn't any? Hopefully that means that it is obvious ;-)

I've added a class-tree for parts as below example:

- PART
   -  MECHANICS
          -  FASTENERS
                  -  Screws

The issue is that if i create a new part, the part type then reflects this complete hierarchy (MECHANICS/FASTENERS/Screws) , instead of just showing "Screws" in the search grid.
Also, I use this class to build the part name, and don't want to have the complete hierarchy shown there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks /Benny

Make a flat classification. (just screws)

The complete hierarchy is needed sometime. if you don't need hierarchy, don't use it.

Thanks for the reply Georg,

I need the hierarchy due to a HUGE list of types. Removing it will make it hard for the user to select the appropriate type.

Is that the only solution?

Hi,

I have a big part class structure with mutlilevels. Is there a way to programmatically create class structure instead of creating a class structure via UI.
