Displaying Illustrations in Work Instructions
You can create an illustration for an operation in the Process Plan Browser. You can display the illustrations in the generated work instructions based on your business requirements.
Once you create an illustration in the Process Plan Browser, a document appears in the References Documents table of the Documentation tab. By default, the name of the illustrated document starts with DOC_PPB_MPM. For example, DOC_PPB_MPM_0000000003.
The system allows you to create an illustration for an operation in the Process Plan Browser and Advanced Manufacturing Resource Browser. The Originated From column displays the browser's name from which you create the illustration. This column does not appear by default. To add this column, edit the table view using the table edit icon, and then click Manage Table Views.
The display of the illustration in the work instruction depends on the value you set in the Show in Work Instructions column. The default value is Yes. When set to Yes, the illustration is displayed in the work instruction. When set to No, the illustration is not displayed in the work instruction.
