Question

Applying Product Manufacturing Info (PMI) in Parametric?

Hello All,

I am in need of applying GD&T, form, and dimensions to my CAD drawing. I need this to be embedded into the file where I can open it up in the 3D model with the measuring software we use at my company. I believe this goes much farther than just putting a few dimensions on in the "Analysis".

I know this is a very broad and/or beginner question, but if there is anyone that has expierence with PMI and could help, that would be amazing.

Below is a link that may help explain my issue a little more.

Thanks,

Frank

As Yeroslav says...
There also is a new piece of sortware out by Sigmetrix called the "GD&T Advisor" which allows you to create the manufacturing info (annotations) a lot easier as it looks (I am still waiting for a test license myself).
It is available for Creo Elements Pro (WF5) and later versions.

Our quality department has tested ProE models with annotations with our CT and it works quite well with their analysis software for the most part.

Well I do create annotations. The problem is exporting them and keeping them as annotations in the file. Say I put a true position on something as an annotation, I cannot get it to come up with the file in our software. I dont know if there is a certain way I must save it, such as .stp, .sat, and .drw. But I've tried them all...

What software as viewer are you using?

I'm not sure, that is possible to export PMI in to natural formats (step, sat ...).
