Process and system for rendering an object in a view using a product lifecycle management database
First Claim
1. A process for rendering an object view using a product lifecycle management database, the database containing modeled objects and relations between said modeled objects, wherein said modeled objects are associated to a set of values of attributes, the values of the set of values being stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects, the process comprising:
- displaying to the user a view of a set of modeled objects;
receiving a selection by a user of an attribute;
querying the database for a modeled object to be rendered;
providing a value of the selected attribute, associated to said modeled object; and
rendering said modeled object in the view according to the provided value of the attribute.

Abstract
The invention proposes a process for rendering an object view using a PLM database. The database comprises modeled objects and relations between said modeled objects. Said modeled objects are associated to a set of values of attributes, whose values are stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects. The process comprises displaying to the user a view of a set of modeled objects; receiving a selection by a user of an attribute; querying the database for a modeled object to be rendered; providing a value of the selected attribute, associated to said modeled object; and rendering said modeled object in the view according to the provided value of the attribute. It is also possible for the user to select a value of an attribute and the rendering will be carried out only on the object, whose value(s) matches with the selected value.

23. A product lifecycle management system, comprising a database storing modeled objects and relations between said modeled objects, said modeled objects being associated to a set of values of attributes, said values being stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects,
wherein the product lifecycle management system comprises: -
means for displaying to the user a view of a set of modeled objects;
means for receiving a selection by a user of an attribute;
means for querying the database for a modeled object to be rendered;
means for providing a value of the selected attribute, associated to said modeled object; and
means for rendering said modeled object in the view according to the provided value of the attribute. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
