Preview a process plan in Electronic Work Instructions

While authoring work instructions, you can preview the process plan and operations in Electronic Work Instructions, to visualize the plan as it will be displayed on the shop floor.

Prerequisites

Before you can use this feature, your Teamcenter administrator must install and configure Electronic Work Instructions.

Note

If Opcenter is installed, the Open in EWI command is replaced with the command Open in Opcenter.

Procedure

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

2. In the Process tab or panel, expand the structure and select an operation.

   Note Select a single operation. Multiple operation selection is not supported.

3. Click Show Menu → View in EWI .

Results

Electronic Work Instructions opens directly to the process and operation that you are viewing. You do not need to locate the correct work package, or navigate through the bill of process (BOP) to see the data.

Note

Your organization can modify the values of the preference EWI_HiddenComponents to hide default Electronic Work Instructions user interface objects such as the header, footer, or blue border frame.
