Modify Framework Support containing a Locked Ancillary

You can modify a framework support if it contains a locked ancillary. If the ancillary is locked by the Lock attribute, or the Position attribute is locked by Data Access Control, the support can be modified but only certain modifications are allowed. Functionality is available to use Status Control and DAC to lock ancillaries in response to design approval whilst allowing scope for acceptable modification thereafter.

You may not make modifcations that affect the whole support, for example, modifying the position, flipping or mirroring. You may not make modifications that affect the locked ancillary directly, for example, modifying the datum ancillary, reselecting the ancillary, adding or modifying packing pieces or compensation plates, or modifying reinforcement pad details.

Configurations FT05 and CT03 do not support further modification when an ancillary is locked as the application requires write access to the whole support.

You can make modifications to the support that do not impact the locked ancillary, for example, adding a pipe, tray or duct, extending sections, adding bracing or reselecting structural members. Modifications cannot be made to a locked ancillary, for example, as a result of a structural change, and if needed this is detected by the support health check.
