Visualize and review PMI assignments

Product manufacturing information (PMI) objects listed in the PMI Assembly Level tab of the Work Instructions Authoring page that are assigned to operations display icons to indicate whether they are assigned, overassigned, or missing in the JT source files.

You can quickly:

• Visualize PMI and parts in the Viewer panel.

• Review the parts and operations to which a PMI object is assigned or connected.

• Select an operation and jump to that operation on the Process tab.

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 Process tab, select a part or operation that contains PMI objects and select a method. The PMI objects connected to the operation are displayed on the PMI Assembly Level tab. PMI objects that are connected to parts display an icon () on the right side of the PMI Description column when you hover over lines in the list. When you click that icon, if a part is marked as visible in the lower Parts tab, all PMI associated with that part is also visible in the Viewer panel.Note You can also show additional PMI objects in the viewer by marking individual PMI objects as visible on the PMI Assembly Level tab. If the parts to which they are attached are not marked as visible in the viewer, they may not appear to be attached to a part.

3. Toward the top of the window, select Show Comparison to enable assignment indications.

The PMI Assembly Level tab displays an icon to indicate PMI objects that are:

Consumed once under a loaded process.

Consumed twice or more under a loaded process.

Consumed once outside the scope of the loaded process.

Consumed twice or more outside the scope of the loaded process.

4. Hover your mouse over an assignment icon to review operations. In this example, Linear Dimension (5) is consumed by operation 25.

5. Click the operation indication. On the Process tab, operation 25 is selected.
