Linked Alternates .... not pretty but - what we have

In the first demo's of EXPLORIS many many years ago there was a smart window that opened up and you could easily see the number of items linked to a master part ...in fact as a test ( when I was on the Jobber Committee ) I linked a handful of 1/8 drill bits ... never new we had so many types ....

Anyways -that was then and this is NOW --and what we have is NOT PRETTY but it is all we have ... the tell tale is the up and down arrows as circled ... try it for BAT 551MF

In the master part in F-8 screen ( see #2 image ) you can edit and see what parts are listed ... until you click EDIT and then the ALT/SUP SETUP you won;t see how many you have

 .... see image #3

Does this make it any easier to understand ????
