Filter Modified Components

You can use Filter Modified Components to visually indicate which components have been modified.

Filter Modified Components is available only when the assembly is open in Large Design Review mode and one or more components are modified.

With Filter Modified Components enabled, you edit and save a component in a separate window. The changed component remains opaque in the assembly window, while the unchanged components become transparent. Using Filter Modified Components allows you to see the modified components.

Modified components include:
  • Components that are detected as out-of-date when you open the assembly in Large Design Review.
  • Components that you modify and save in a separate window during the Large Design Review session.
