Rules

There is only a single long form schema (ARM and MIM) defined in AM 403 ap203_configuration_controlled_3d_design_of_mechanical_parts_and_assemblies. All CCs and COs are defined against this top schema .

Selects and selec extensions are not treated as individual objects for defining the Cs and COs. So even if an extended select is not listed for defining a CC or a CO but the involved entities are this means that the select extension is also indirectly part of the CO/CC. Note that these selects are not visible in e.g. a p21 file.

For each CC and CO the mandatory entities to be supported by an implementation is either directly or indirectly defined by the following capabilities

• COs may include other COs (completely)
• COs may include 0, 1 or more AM with everything in them, including all reference AM (recursively)
• COs may not include a particular AM completely. This can be said in two different ways
  • subtractive, by listing the entities (ARM and MIM) which are not mandatory for a particular AM
  • additive, by selectively enumerating the mandatory entities grouped by the AMs in which they are defined
• In addition we may need the capability to say
  • content of AM xxx is mandatory except of everything in the underlying AM yyy or
  • content of AM xxx is mandatory except of the entities sss and ttt in the underlying AM(s)
