- Manipulating Components
-
There are two options and their statuses:
- Free manipulation: this option allows you to freely
move the selected component in the default plane only (all other iconic options
are disabled when selected.) You cannot freely rotate the component.
The default plane defines by the current view (top, bottom, left, right, back, front, iso).
Note: The default plane is the plane of the screen for the iso view. - With respect to constraints: this option allows you to
move or rotate the selected component by respecting its assembly
constraints.Note: With this option, the following component orientations in the engineering connection are not accounted for: Position first component or Position second component.
For more information, see Manipulating Items along with Detecting Clashes.
Benefits: Easier and quicker manipulation of geometry. - Free manipulation: this option allows you to freely
move the selected component in the default plane only (all other iconic options
are disabled when selected.) You cannot freely rotate the component.
- Document Management
- You have more control over the management of documents associated with Work
Instructions. Documents can now be associated as attachments or as specifications.
This replaces the existing Attach Document in the Instruction Tools section of the Action Bar.
For more information, see Instruction ToolsPrimary Area.
- Associating Dressup to Textual Instructions
- Providing the ability to associate Textual Instructions
(Text, Data Collects, Alert, Sign Off) with Dressup (excluding
Measures, Sections, and Associated View Picture). This is in addition to the existing
ability of associating with Views, to increase the clarity of the
Textual Instructions.
The association between Dressup and Textual Instructions is seen:
- In the Textual Instruction and Dressup panels (overlay indicators)
- During the PLM Play (associated Instructions and Views are played together)
- In the Generate Documentation output (associated Instructions and Views are listed together in the standard HTML output)
For more information, see Using the Instruction Assignment Manager.
Benefits: This reduces training time on for shop floor workers and also reduces mistakes/rework. - Managing Operations Navigation
- The Operation Sequencer User Interface look is changed to make it minimalistic.
- The operation-icons are listed according to the sequence mode defined in Me-Preferences (no change on the existing behavior).Preferences, Display, Operation Filmstrip, Operation Sequence, Display sequence based on Time/tree order.
- A single arrow (blue color in right picture) to indicate the flow of operations.
- The activation of operation, display of the visual cues for textual-instructions, Views, BI remains as before.
- New LEFT and RIGHT DIRECTION ARROWS are added in the left and right of Operation Sequencer to enable navigation to the previous and next system.
For more information, see Work Instructions Layout.
- Data Collect Plan (DCP) Formula Validity Checker Panel
- You can allow for identification of all the Data Collect Plan (DCP) Rows that
contain invalid Formulas in the current Workplan / System. The same validity verifies
when opening the Formula Editor for a particular DCP Row, is made for all Rows in the
current Workplan / System.
For more information, see About Launch Data Collect Plan (DCP) Formula Validity Checker Panel
Benefits: Identify for the workplan all the Data Collect Plan rows on which a formula is invalid. Actions are proposed in the Formula Validity verification report to solve the issues. You are able to control in advanced that formulas could be computed during execution at the shopfloor.
