Locate PMI assembly and process definitions

Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) objects can be attached to parts that are used in assemblies or processes that are either actively loaded or unloaded. You can quickly identify the assemblies or processes to which PMI objects belong, both in currently loaded assemblies and processes, and in unloaded external assemblies and processes.

Note

All loaded and unloaded manufacturing assemblies and processes that are referenced by the PMI data must be installed.

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. Select the PMI Assembly Plan tab and define content using a selection method.Note Method 1 shows PMI content that is based on the loaded assembly. For each PMI object in the tab, the Defined In column reports the names of those EBOM parts or assemblies to which the object is connected in the currently loaded configuration, as well as in external configurations. A defined in location or parent context to which assembly PMI is connected often indicates where other PMI objects may also be defined at the same level. When you make general configuration and revision changes to the parent assembly, assigned PMI and product views are automatically updated.

3. Next to a preferred PMI object in the PMI Description column, click More .

   Links to Defined In information are available in the PMI object's specific dialog box. The dialog box also displays information on the PMI object's target assemblies and target processes.

4. Click the Defined In link.

   The item revision opens in Active Workspace and further details on the target assemblies and processes are displayed.

5. (Optional) Close Active Workspace.
