Comparing design features with manufacturing features

When performing an accountability check between design and manufacturing features, you can compare the following:

• Connected parts Only the connected-to relationship is compared between design and manufacturing features. The parts themselves are not compared. A multiple match occurs if a connected part is assigned multiple times.

• The properties specified in the Mpd0CpdBomPartialMatchProperties global constant

• The attribute groups specified in the MEAccountabilityCheckMappedAttrGrpsForComparison preference If one property within an attribute group differs from its mapped property in the manufacturing feature form, the accountability check marks the attribute group/form as a mismatch.

You can propagate the following:

• The connected-to relationships providing the connected parts already exist in the MBOM

• The properties specified in the Mpd0CpdBomPropagableProperties global constant

• The attribute groups specified in the MEAccountabilityCheckMappedAttrGrpsForPropagation preference

If the target weld is released, propagation of this weld is blocked and results in an error in the propagation log file.

If the parent of the weld in the MBOM is blocked for change (released, remote, or no permission), propagation of connected objects of this weld is blocked and results in an error in the propagation log file.

Run an accountability check as described in Run an advanced accountability check. Additionally note the following:

• You can only run an accountability check using the subset definition as source and the MBOM as target.

• When you compare connected parts, select the Consider connected objects for partial match option on the General tab of the Partial Match tab.

• You can select the properties to be compared and propagated on the DE/DF Properties tab.

• You can compare and propagate attribute groups on the Attribute Groups tab.
