Hide the functional structure

Procedure

  1. Choose File → Utilities → Customer Defaults.
  2. In the Customer Defaults dialog box, choose Mechatronics Concept Designer → System Navigator → General tab.
  3. Select the Hide Functional Structure check box.

When you restart Designcenter NX, in the System Navigator, the Function folder will be hidden.

This is a site/customer-level configuration option (set via Customer Defaults, not per-session), useful for deployments where the functional model layer is not used or is managed entirely elsewhere, decluttering the System Navigator.
