Functionality on Site Aras Innovator Client Brings the Aras Main Form to the foreground. Additional models canbesearched forandcanbe loaded, insert or exchanged in the Show Form Opens the Aras form of the selected component Show Part Form Opens the Aras form of the related Part of the selected component Save to Aras Checks lock status, checks parts and subassemblies of the assembly structure, saves modified data back to Aras Innovator, saves File to Vault, checks unsaved components and assign unsaved components to Aras Innovator Synchronize Lock Status is checked; the mapped meta data is refreshed from the defined leading location Aras Innovator or from the session Load Drawing The related Drawing of the Model is loaded from Aras innovator into the sessions.
