If settings have been made for a certain project (standard or supplier part), when opening the part in PARTdataManager, the dialog box Discontinued part is displayed, where one or several parts are listed, which can be loaded instead of the original selection (if this option has been activated in the configuration file replace_std.cfg).

Dialog box "Discontinued part"

If the key SHOWBITMAPS (see Section 1.7.3.3.1, “General settings”) is set to '1', in PARTdataManager index tree, additional icons are displayed for replaced or removed standards.

If set to 1, the Open button is visible.

ALLOW_OLD = 1: Button "Open" button visible

If set to 0, the Open button is not visible.

ALLOW_OLD = 0: Button "Open" is hidden
