Clear Assignments

Overview

SuiteFactory supports a concept of files being assigned to a Resource Collection which is a very flexible object. The Resource Collection can also have machine tools and Packets assigned. One of the properties of the Resource Collection is any machine tool assigned to it can access any files assigned to it. 

If you want to make sure that a machine tool which is assigned to particular Resource Collection doesn't have access to a particular file you will need to clear that assignment.

This section details how to clear an assign N/C Files to "Resource Collections" for managing and providing access control.  See the details below.
