DESCRIPTION

This free tool is used to examine, edit, and correct STF transmittals. Focus can also run other SEDRIS-based tools, such as Depth, Model Viewer, Rules Checker, Syntax Checker and SEE-IT, as well as read their error reports.

RELEASE INFORMATION

The current version is a 0.5 (beta) release. This tool is SEDRIS 3.1.x compliant.

The application is linked statically with the SEDRIS 3.1.2 library. Users must have Java runtime (JRE) version 1.4.1 or above installed to run this application. Additional documentation is included in the download.

FEATURES

• Open multiple transmittals simultaneously.
• Create multiple views of a transmittal.
• View and edit the objects in a transmittal.
• Find a specific object in a transmittal by its DRM class or ID.
• Navigate from object to object in an object tree hierarchy.
• Create bookmarks on transmittal objects.
• Copy and paste objects within and across transmittals.
• Create objects in a transmittal.
• Delete objects from a transmittal.
• Run an application on a transmittal from the main window.
• Locate an object in post-processing of Syntax or Rules Checker via a GUI.
• Configure GUI and transmittal traversal preferences.

LIMITATIONS

The following limitations are applicable to this beta release.

• No comprehensive approach in editing <Data Table> objects, and its associated signature objects and data. Users are limited to only change the values of current set of attributes. No provision for importing, expanding or eliminating data from the tables.
• No provision for importing or exporting data to and from <Data Table> or <Image> objects.
• When editing an object linked through an association, the result will not be reflected on the preview pane of that object, although the new attribute values are stored in STF. (Workaround: select another object and then re-select the original object to force preview pane refresh.)
• When editing an object through an ITR link, the result will not be shown on the preview pane of the same object opened explicitly.
• No provision to create <Enumeration Axis> objects.
• Very limited capability to detect and recover from incompatible data.
