Description

The Evaluate Rules frame (shown below) provides several commands used for forcing evaluation of rules and showing and hiding cells rendered for broken rules.

The Examine Task: Rules Panel, Evaluate Rules
Use the commands in the Evaluate Rules to frame to force rule evaluation and to show or hide broken rule cells.

Use the Evaluate command any time a rule has become stagnant due to mesh changes. This will force the rule's Function to be calculated on the entities the rule is applied to (all for Global) and compared to the Limit to determine if any cells break the rule. Evaluate is only available when a rule is selected in the list.

Hide will turn off the rendering of any cells which break the currently selected rule. This command button changes its label to Show when a hidden rule is selected in the list. Press Show to restore rendering of cells which break the selected rule. Hide/Show are only available when a rule is selected in the list.

Evaluate All forces evaluation of all existing rules. Hide All will turn off rendering of any cells which break all existing rules. Show All will turn back on rendering of cells which break all existing rules.

 

Note: The Evaluate Rules and Show/Hide Rules commands are available on the Grid toolbar by default for easy access to these rules capabilities.
