Textual Work Instruction

Select the required option:

Show Reference Name
When you select an operation on the Operation Sequencer, all the work instructions associated with the operation list to the left of the work area. The work instructions list by either their default name (for example, Instruction.number) or by a name you have given them.
Show Instruction Text
If you select this option, the text of the work instruction itself appears in the list. This enables you to see, at a glance, what work instructions you have defined without having to come up with meaningful names for each work instruction. Even if you selected Use Formatted Text in the Authoring tab, the instruction text nonetheless appears in plain text.

By default, Show Reference Name is selected.

Operation Filmstrips

Operation Sequence

This enhances the time based sorting algorithm to handle a case of multiple Operations with the same end time.

  • Operations sort and display as per their end time.
  • If two or more Operations have the same end times, but different start times, then these two/more Operations display as per their relative start times.
  • If two or more Operations have the same end and start times, then these two/more Operations display as per their relative tree order
  • It uses the selected value to decide the order of operations in Generated XML/HTML.

Display sequence based on Time
When you select this option, the filmstrip shows the operations based on a time-ordered sequence.
Display sequence based on Tree Order
If you select this option, the filmstrip shows the operations based on the order items appear in the tree. A generated document also has the operations displayed based on the tree order.

Display sequence based on Time is selected.

Operation Thumbnails

Display Thumbnails with Implemented Manufacturing Items
When you select this option, the thumbnails used in both Work Instructions and 3DWorkbook show the item associated with the operation for which you create the work instruction. For example, if the operation requires the worker to insert a spark plug into an assembly, the thumbnail associated with the work instruction shows the spark plug.
Display Thumbnails with Buildup
If you select this option, the thumbnails show product buildup. For example, if an operation requires the worker to insert a spark plug into an assembly, the assembly appears in the thumbnail. This is along with the part buildup up to the point corresponding to the operation.
