Configuring the comparison of design to manufacturing features

If you work with design features in 4th Generation Design (4GD), you can assign these features to the MBOM when working in Manufacturing Process Planner. The design features are stored in design container elements in 4GD. During the assignment action, Teamcenter copies the mapped property values from the design feature to the corresponding properties on the BOM line of the manufacturing feature. The mapped attribute group properties are copied to their corresponding form properties on the item revision. The forms themselves that contain mapped properties to be copied are created as part of the assign process.

To enable the comparison, you must configure the mapping of the properties between the design features and the manufacturing features.

The following constants affect the behavior of the assignment process:

• Cpd0DFToBOMPropertyMapping global constant Specifies the design feature properties that are mapped to form properties on a BOM line.

• Cpd0DFPropertiesForMBOM global constant Specifies the initial set of properties carried over during assignment. Your administrator can define a different set of properties for assignment based on a feature type.

• CPD0AttachToItemRevision business constant Specifies whether attachments are associated to the item revision or BOM line in the context of the root level.

• Cpd0ItemTypeForDesignFeature business constant Specifies what type of item is automatically created when the corresponding design feature is assigned to the MBOM.
