Create the System-Item Scope

In this first step, you will define the scope of work for your system structure.

Before you begin: Start the Process Planning app from a Manufactured Item Definition session.
Note: This tutorial illustrates how to create and detail a system structure starting from an already-defined Manufacturing Assembly structure. The Manufacturing Assembly structure used is the one you would obtain with the tutorial in the Manufactured Item Definition User's Guide.

A root General system is created by default when you start Process Planning.

  1. Right-click the root System tile and click Manage Scopes.
  2. In the Manage scopes panel, click Create Scope to Item.
  3. Select the root Manufacturing Assembly node in the tree.
    A System-Item scope is created between the root System and the root Manufacturing Assembly.

A black and blue intertwined circle appears in the lower left corner of the root System tile, indicating that a scope is defined between the system and the Manufacturing Assembly.

Next step: Create the Basic System Structure.
