This section provides additional procedures for Desigo CC Scopes related tasks.

Prerequisites

Configure Scopes from a Partner System in a Distributed Environment

You have created and configured two active projects P1 on System A and P2 on System B in distribution and the distribution connection is bi-directional. For more information, see Configuring the Projects in Distribution.

You are logged on to the Installed Client of the originator system, for example System A and from where you want to view and configure the Scope definition of another system, for example System B, which is in distribution with System A.

Select Project (System B) > System Settings > Scopes, perform the following tasks:

Configure the Scope Definition by configuring Scope Rules and/or configuring Scope Exceptions.

To apply the Scope Definition as filter in another application, drag the Scope Definition onto the application in the local system, in this case System B.

You have configured the Scope Definition for the partner system, System B. (See Scopes in Distributed Systems)

Delete a Scope Definition or a Scope Folder

Deleting a Scope folder deletes all its children. You cannot delete the main Scopes folder.

At least one Scope definition or a Scope folder is available under the Scopes root folder.

Select Project > System Settings > Scopes > [scope definition] or [scope folder].

Click Delete .

Click Yes.

The Scope definition or subfolder is removed from System Browser.

The invalid entries are removed.
