In the Element Catalog Options (View > Element Catalog > Options button), what's the difference between:
- Valid Elements for Working Start to Finish
- Valid Elements for Working in Any Order
- Elements Allowed Anywhere in Parent
Especially, I don't understand the difference between the 2nd and 3rd option.
The FM 2017 online help tells us:
Valid Elements for Working Start to Finish
Displays only elements that are valid at the current insertion point in the hierarchy. The order of the elements in the pod is the same as they are defined in the structured application.
...
Valid Elements for Working in Any Order
Displays only elements that are valid at the current insertion point in the hierarchy.
...
Elements Allowed Anywhere in Parent
Displays all elements that are valid for the current parent.
...
For my understanding, "Displays only elements that are valid at the current insertion point in the hierarchy." is equal to "Displays all elements that are valid for the current parent.".
Am I wrong or right?
And furthermore:
Elements Allowed Anywhere in Parent
Displays all elements that are valid for the current parent.
... You can insert elements that are invalid and correct the errors later.
With this option, FM displays all valid elements. But how is it possible under these conditions to insert invalid elements?
Maybe someone can give my synapses a little push, please.
Thank you.
