Note the following:
• Control characteristics may be created and associated to a part or to a manufacturing object using the Manufacturing Product Structure Explorer.
• A control characteristic that is associated to an operation will be published upon publishing the holding process plan, provided the distribution target attribute Publish Control Characteristics when Publishing a Process Plan has a value of Yes; this happens even if the control characteristic is associated to a part as well and the attribute Publish Control Characteristics when Publishing a Part has a value of No.
|
|
If a model item’s EPM document is not associated to the owner of the holding control characteristic, an attempt to publish the control characteristic results in a failure.
|
|
Windchill ESI publishes a control characteristic to the same distribution targets as those associated to the holding part or process plan.
