Show Step Identifiers

Displays the correspondent instanceId of a specified stepId and vice versa.
When importing a STEP Physical File into the EDMdatabase, a STEP Identifier model can optionally be created to hold the correspondence between stepId and EDMdatabase instanceID. A stepID is the entity instance identifiers on a STEP file.
This command can optionally display the actual instance in the same way as the Data>Show>Instance command, but the actual instance to be displayed can be specified by an instanceID or by a stepID.
Arguments:

instanceID or query?

Specify one of the following:
instanceID: The instance of interest will be specified by its instanceID number.
query: The instance of interest will be specified by a query.
When activating the Select button, the two legal alternatives: instanceID and query are displayed in the related selection list.
This argument is only effective when the option [stepId from instanceId] is set.

InstanceId:

Specify an unsigned integer value denoting the EDMdatabase unique instanceID of the instance of interest. This argument is only effective when the <instanceID or query?> argument is set to instanceID and the option [stepId from instanceId] is enabled.

Repository:

Specify the name of the open repository that holds the actual instance. Repository names are case sensitive. This argument is only effective when the <instanceID or query?> argument is set to query and the option [stepId from instanceId] is enabled.
When activating the Select button, the name of all open repositories will be displayed in the related selection list.

Model:

Specify the name of the model that holds the instance of interest. Model names are case sensitive. This argument is only effective when the <instanceID or query?> argument is set to query and the option [stepId from instanceId] is enabled. This model must be open.
When activating the Select button, the name of all open models located in the repository(ies) specified by the <Repository> argument will be displayed in the related selection list.

Entity:

Specify the name of the entity, i.e. the type of the instance of interest. Entity names are case insensitive. This argument is only effective when the <instanceID or query?> argument is set to query and the option [stepId from instanceId] is enabled.
When activating the Select button, the name of all existing instance types in the model(s) specified by the arguments <Repository> and <Model> will be displayed in the related selection list.

First instance index to check:

Specify an integer value denoting the index, i.e., element number in the entity extent aggregate that holds all instances of the same type in a model. The value of the <First instance index to check> argument specifies the index of the first instance to be queried. The instance type is specified by the <Entity> argument. The first instance in the entity extent aggregate has index zero.
This argument is only effective when the <instanceID or query?> argument is set to query and the option [stepId from instanceId] is enabled.
This argument will be automatically updated to the index of the last instance that matched the query plus one, when the option [update indexes] is set. This feature makes it convenient to query all instances of a particular type in an incremental way.

Condition:

Specify the conditions the actual instance should match. All queried instances will match the query when this argument is empty (blank). This argument is only effective when the <instanceID or query?> argument is set to query and the option [stepId from instanceId] is enabled.

stepID:

An integer number specifying the instance of interest. This argument is only effective when the option [instanceId from stepId] is enabled.

Options:

accumulating command output:

A global option that appends the command output to the EDMsupervisor output window. Otherwise the output window is refreshed and only the last command output is displayed.

match selected input:

A global option that specifies that only items that partly or exactly matches the string in the related argument input field when activating a Select button, will be in the selection list. An empty (blank) string will match all items.

update indexes:

A global option that specifies that the <First instance to check> argument will be updated to the next index after the one currently displayed.

instanceId from stepId:

Displays the instanceID corresponding to the stepId specified in the <StepID> argument.

stepId from instanceId:

Displays the stepId corresponding to the instanceId specified by the <InstanceId> argument or a query.

show instance:

Display the actual instance in the same way as by the Data>Show>Instance command.
