Creating Precedence Constraints Between Items

You can add, reverse, or delete a precedence constraint between two sibling items.

Before you begin: Open the manufacturing assembly structure on which you want to manage precedence constraints.
  1. Click Create Precedence Link .
  2. Select the tile where the link is to start.
  3. Select the tile where the link is to end.
    The link is created between the two items, which is symbolized by an arrow linking the two tiles.
  4. In the same way, create another precedence constraint by selecting start and end items.
    Notes:
    • To reverse the direction of the link, double-click the arrow.
    • To delete a link, click the arrow linking the two tiles then press the Delete key. Alternatively, right-click the arrow and select Delete.
    • By default, precedence constraints appear in orange. You can customize this Connection colors in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Simulation > Process Engineering > Manufactured Item Definition > Item Grid Editor.
