Points of Measure in the Measurement Table Editor
Inserting a Point of Measure (POM) Using an Icon
To insert a point of measure (POM), click a row in the table.
• Click the insert before selected rows icon
to insert the POM in a new row before the row you selected.
• Click the insert after selected rows icon
to insert the POM in a new row beneath the row you selected.
Use the move selected rows up icon
and move selected rows down icon
to move the inserted POM to a different location in the table. You can also drag and drop the row to move it to a different location.
Inserting a POM Using the Quick Search
To perform a search, click the Name or POM # cell for the row that you want to insert the POM into. Enter a colon (:), followed by a search string. The system displays the POMs that match the search string. You can also enter a colon to view all available POMs.
| Only those POMs whose type matches the template or set type appear in the search results If you are unsure of the name or number of the POM you want to insert, enter one letter at a time, rather than the full name or number. The system refreshes each time you enter an additional letter or number, displaying those POMs that match the new search string. If your search string returns only one match, then the system automatically inserts that POM and its information into the row. |
Click the insert measurement icon to insert the POM and its related information into the row. If POM information already exists in that row, selecting a POM from the search results overwrites any existing information.
Inserting a POM Using the POM Library
Click POMs/Clipboard to open a window with a Library tab. This tab lists the same points of measure that are in the measurements library. The tab only displays POMs that are the same type as the template or set you are updating. The Library tab contains the following columns:
• POM #—Displays the POM number, if one has been assigned.
• Name—Displays the name of the POM.
• Placement Amount—Displays the numeric value of the placement amount for the POM. This column is used with the Placement Reference column.
• Placement Reference—Provides information about how and where to measure the POM. This column is used with the Placement Amount column.
• Criticality—If applicable, displays the assigned criticality value for the POM when the point of measure was created (either critical, detail, or secondary).
• Section—If applicable, displays the section to which the POM is assigned.
• Tol (+) and Tol (-)—Display numeric values for POM tolerances.
From the Library tab, do one of the following:
• Click the insert measurement icon
in the first column of the POM in the
Library tab.
• Select Insert to insert POMs or select Replace to replace POMs in the measurement table. Select a row or multiple rows, then drag and drop the rows from the window into the table.
You can reposition the window with the library by placing the cursor over the window. When the cursor becomes an arrow-ended cross
, you can click the left mouse button and drag the window to the desired position on the screen.
Click
to close the window and continue working in the measurement editor.
You can use the freeze pane function in the
Library tab. This function is similar to the freeze pane function in the line sheet. For more information, see
Working with the Freeze Pane Function.
Using the Clipboard in the Measurement Table Editor
To access POMs on the clipboard, click POMs/Clipboard from any measurement editor page to open a window that contains a Clipboard tab. The Clipboard tab displays those POMs that have been copied to the clipboard from the POM library or from a product measurement set.
To insert a POM, do one of the following:
• Click the insert measurement icon
in the first column of the POM in the
Clipboard tab.
• Select Insert to insert POMs or select Replace to replace POMs in the measurement table. Select a row or multiple rows from the Clipboard tab, then drag and drop the rows from the window into the table.
To move rows, select the rows and do one of the following:
• Use the move selected rows up icon
and move selected rows down icon
to move the inserted POM to a different location in the table.
• Drag and drop the rows to a different location in the table.
You can reposition the window with the clipboard by placing the cursor over the window. When the cursor becomes an arrow-ended cross
