Attribute values can be specified and changed in Digital
Process for Manufacturing (DPM) by creating relations between products
and processes using the Assign a product/resource function in DPM. To be
able to specify attribute values the existing Assign a product/resource
function was extended. With the assistance of a new dialog, attribute
values can be specified and\or changed. This dialog is available only
for the Assign a product/resource function. The extended Assign a
product/resource function can only be used for projects that have been
created in Process Engineer (DPE). To be able to create attribute values
in DPM, the attribute of the relation must be configured in DPE, - and
the value Display in editor must be set to YES.
Once created, attribute values can be edited in the dialog Extended
Property Panel under the tab Relation-Effectivity. To be able to edit
the attribute values you must save the project and then reopen the
project. |
|
Select Tools >PPR Hub Commands > Open Extended Property Panel,
to open the
dialog. To edit attribute values in a dialog, see also: Viewing and Modifying Manufacturing Hub Attributes. |
