Hi all
I'm using inheritance .prt to .prt model links.
I'm getting 3 different icons shown in the model tree.

and

Can someone explain the different meanings of these 3 variants?

I already checked the information in Model Tree Icon List - PTC Community

 

Thanks a lot in advance
Pius

 

We are using Creo Paramterics 8.0.4.0,

Oh, yes!
Here in I found a datum plane which was of no use.

Deleted it and the Icon turned back to "Vanilla".

Hello,

 

Thank you for asking about those glyphs. Those indeed pertain to Inheritance Features and carry a meaning. The best ressource here has to be the Help Center.

This is a vanilla Inheritance feature

This is an Inheritance feature with Varied Items

<will get back to you>

FYI Varied Items can be set accessing that menu (here when the Inheritance Feature is created) :

or RMB the existing Inheritance feature > Varied Items

    Hello remy

    This sounds promising.
    Is there an option  to get rid of the "varied items" symbol?
    It may have happen that I selected this just for fun but without any need.

    ?
