Examine detailed PMI part information views

You can view the parts to which product manufacturing information (PMI) is connected even if they belong to a different manufacturing assembly than that which you are currently reviewing. In many cases, the connected parts are referenced parts.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open an existing work package that contains processes and parts and navigate to the Work Instructions Authoring page.

2. On the Assembly tab, select a part or assembly and then, in the PMI Assembly Level tab, select a product-based method to see PMI elements connected to the part or assembly.

On the Assembly tab, you can also click to show the part or assembly in the Viewer.

3. (Optional) For unassigned PMI elements, select the PMI Assembly Level tab, hover your mouse over any PMI element for which you want to identify connected parts, and click More .

For assigned PMI elements on the PMI tab of the information panel below the PMI Assembly Level tab, you can also hover your mouse over any PMI element for which you want to identify connected parts, and click More . In the information popup, the PMI element's physical parts are displayed in the Connected Parts list. Datums, if available, are listed in the Referenced Datum Parts list. If any connected or referenced parts are not visible in the part or assembly you selected in step 2, they display icons.

4. (Optional) Click to change the status of any connected parts or referenced datum parts to visible . Those parts are displayed in the Viewer.

Note

If you rotate a part or assembly in the Viewer, the graphic appears backward, but when you release, it flips to display correctly.

You may need to zoom, rotate, or pan the part in the Viewer to completely view the PMI information.

5. On the PMI Assembly Level or PMI tab, hover your mouse over a different PMI element and click More to update the information popup with connected, assigned, or referenced parts for that element.
