Working with Control Characteristics in Explorers
This section describes how to create and allocate control characteristics in Windchill MPMLink Explorers. Standard control characteristics use a symbolic engineering language that explicitly describes key features as well as nominal geometry and allowable variation for a part or process. They indicate to manufacturing staff and machines the degree of accuracy and precision required for each controlled feature of a part during fabrication, assembly, and test.
