Product1
A product. For more information, refer to Insert a New Product in Product Structure User's Guide.
Product2
A component or sub-product. For more information, refer to Insert a New
Component in Product Structure User's Guide.
The purple little wheel to the left corner of
Flexible_product
the CATProduct icon and the light bar
identify a flexible sub-assembly. For more information, refer to Soft Sub-Assemblies in Product Structure User's Guide. Instance of a part. This symbol means that there is a geometrical representation of the part and that it is activated.
Part.1
The representation of this part is deactivated. This symbol means the
geometric representation is deactivated. Before opening a document, you choose
Part_with_DeactivatedRepresentation
the activate or deactivate Shape representation in Tools->Options->Infrastructure, select the Product
Structure tab and check the box entitled Do not activate default shapes on open. For a particular instance in the document, you can deactivate or activate it by selecting the Representations -> Deactivate Node / Activate Node contextual commands.
The representation of this component is deactivated.

Contextual parts:
For contextual parts, the reference keeps a link with the Original or Definition Instance (or Original Part).
For each parts, every instance keeps a link with its reference. But the Contextual Reference (or Contextual Part) has only one link, with a single instance which is
contextual. This unique link allows you to know the name of the document (CATProduct) on which the part 's external geometry rests.
There is a distinction between the Original Instance and the subsequent Contextual References because the geometrical definition of contextual Parts depends on
neighboring components (support) in the Assembly. The Geometry of the Contextual Part depends on another instance in the same Assembly (second link). Three Instances of Contextual Part exist: _
Definition Instance
This icon shows that the Part Reference is contextual and this Instance is the Definition Instance. The green gear and the blue chain signify the \"original\" instance of a part that is contextual (driven by another part, built with another part's data) in a CATProduct.
This contextual part, represented by the white gear and the green arrow, is an Instance of the Definition Instance, coming from the Contextual Part. The geometry of this instance is connected with the Definition Instance (contextual link). Note that you can edit this contextual part.
The brown gear and the red flash signify that the Part reference is contextual and that this instance is not used in the Part Definition. Note that you can edit this Contextual Part. This symbol can appear when you copy / paste or insert a Contextual Part into another CATProduct without taking into account the contextual links.
In this case the user needs to resort to the \"Define Contextual Links\" or \"Isolate Part\" commands in
order to redefine the context of the Part and this red flash will be turned into a blue chain or green arrow.
For more information, please read the following scenarios: Defining Contextual Links: Editing and Replacing Commands, and Isolating a Part in Product Structure User' Guide.
Reference of a part. For more information, refer to Insert a New Part in Product Structure User's Guide. A deactivated component. The shape representation is deactivated; its geometry is not visible. This functionality can occur simultaneously on several documents containing this component, especially when this component is the instance of a reference. This operation is equivalent to the Delete operation because the reference of the component no longer exists within the Bill Of Material. A deactivated product.

Miscellaneous Symbols
Bodies and PartBodies
Depending on the chosen environment type, icons representing bodies (and partbodies) are assigned distinct colors as summarized in this table:
Environment type
Solid body
Body
Insert Body command
Solid body Body
Note
When creating a new body (using Insert->Body or Insert->Body in a Set), the icon associated to the inserted body is assigned the green color in the specification tree.
A Part Body. This type of partbody can include solids, wireframe and surface elements. PartBody
The icon identifying part bodies is:
green in a hybrid environment (default environment). yellow in a non-hybrid environment.
A solid PartBody. This type of Part Body cannot include wireframe nor surface elements. The icon identifying solid part bodies is:
gray in a hybrid environment (default environment) green in a non-hybrid environment.
PartBody
Body.3
A Body. This type of body can include solids, wireframe and surface elements.
The icon identifying bodies is:
green in a hybrid environment (default environment). yellow in a non-hybrid environment.
A solid body. This type of body cannot include wireframe nor surface elements.
The icon identifying solid bodies is:
green in a non-hybrid environment.
gray in a hybrid environment (default environment).

Referenced Geometry
Referenced Geometry
Geometry copied from a document different from the CATPart document in which it is pasted.
Initial geometry has undertaken modifications in the original CATPart document: solid to be synchronized.
Initial geometry has been deleted in the original CATPart document or the original CATPart document has not been found Pointed document found but not loaded (use the Load contextual command or the Edit > Links command)
External link deactivated so that geometry cannot be synchronized during the update of the part (even if the option \"Synchronize all external references for update\" is on). Geometry pasted (using the As Result with Link option) within the same CATPart
document from which it is has been copied Point referenced in the CATPart document is a published element.
