Basic Procedures (BIM-PLM)

The following topics will explain, on the basis of the example shown below, the basic procedures for automatic data management.

• Set Link Conditions in the Configuration Management
• Create New Project / Activate Project
• Create New Drawing / Open Drawing
• Create Parts / Edit Parts
• Save Drawing
• Create, Add and Update Drawings
• Generate BOMs / Export Production Data

Important:

• When deriving drawings with the BIM-PLM functionality, the parameter CONDITION FOR 'DRAWING IS UP-TO-DATE' from the Configuration Management will be evaluated. This parameter determines under which circumstances the "Drawing is up to date" link will be set for derived drawings. Further information can be found in the Configuring the BIM-PLM Suite topic.
• Please note that the BIM-PLM suite works in a project-related manner, and that the managed parts are assigned to a particular project. When fitting parts which are reused in other projects (e.g. purchased parts) you need to assign the part master manually. These parts will be ignored by the automatisms of the BIM-PLM suite.
