    PMI - Creating Simple Annotations

    Hi All, We are researching the use of PMI to move to an MBD environment. Our hope is to use PMI and display all dimensional constraints and notes in PMI views and inherit the PMI onto a drawing in phase 1. I cannot find a simple way to put a set of basic drawing notes into a PMI view and...

You can create Lightweight Components etc. Another way is to create JT files of the component or sub assy parts an open the JT versions for the areas of the Assembly you need to see...

    UnRelease

    As a Teamcenter DBA you only need to delete the Release by deleting POM objects. Highlight the status and delete. Then View The POM Objects using the Reference POM Objects filter in the viewer highlite and delete.

    Anyone ever used "Variant Configuration Display Options"?

    I think you need to set those Variant Rules in your Customer Defaults or be in Teamcenter and set the rules

    Adding Standard note to drawing.

    John, You meant to say on an Excel Sheet. Dragging and dropping a .txt file on to a Drawing Sheet does not work.

    title block description and revision control

    I would say YES! Once a Drawing is in a released state and in circulation, if the drawing is revised for any reason and the change is not documented, how would one know what the proper version of the drawing is? If audited how would you defend the change? How could you easily prove that the...

    Change Management Process(es)

    Change Management processes can consume a lot of time to get through a change / review cycle. We have 2 Release processes in our company. a) Engineering Release for Dev/Limited Product b) Product Release for pure production. We struggle with the serial-ness of the processes and I'm...

    What makes an employee invaluable?

    What makes an employee invaluable? That's a great question. I believe its the intangibles he / she brings to bear in the job. We can all hire well-qualified, capable people to retire in place so to speak. Recognizing candidates or people in your organization who have those qualities is the...

    The 21st Century Design Drafting Group

    Thanks for all the replies. Even the hilarious ones. PMI is the abbreviation for Product Manufacturing Information. I'm looking at embedding PMI into the Solid Models to get the factory on line earlier in the process. PMI would constitute the adding GD&T and Critical Dimensions that drive the...

    The 21st Century Design Drafting Group

    I'm curious. Since CAD's inseption during the 80's & 90's many companies simply electronified (if there is such a word) their design drafting processes. In the 21st Century will there be a paradigm shift from tradtional design drafting groups? What efficiences will traditional Design Drafting...

    'Educated' opinions on climate change

    Actually there are many scientists that believe the converse is happening and that Global cooling is more prevelant and dangerous than warming. Crops will not have the seasonal growing temperatures needed during their germination stage.

    Teamcenter Setup

    I agree with "fgbrender". Do you release your revisions? I'm unclear about the need to revise Rev "A" while modifying Rev "B"? If you revised Rev "A" while working on Rev "B" how would you flow down those changes? Anyway...In the Business Modeler you can set a rule for the Number of Working...

    Use of WAVE and Teamcenter

    Sorry to here your having problems with Teamcenter. Our company (Moog Inc)has been using Teamcenter (aka: iMan) since 1997-98. While we've certainly worked thru some issues, I think Teamcenter is great. If we were using UG/NX native and maintaining / managing UG Load Options, paths, Manual...
