The screens on this shelf

Workspace 3D Modeller Import STL or OBJ, or generate a primitive. The volume shown beside a model is computed from the same triangles it is drawn from. 11 stepsOpen Records Models Geometry held as a mesh rather than a file, so it can be measured. A model that is not closed reports no volume rather than a wrong one. 13 stepsOpen Records Assembly Structure Which models sit inside which, and where. An assembly cannot contain itself at any depth. 12 stepsOpen Workspace Structure Explorer The bill of material both ways: exploded and costed downwards, and where-used upwards. One walk, written once, so the shortage report, the costing run and this screen agree. 11 stepsOpen Records Engineering Documents The drawing, the model, the specification and the work instruction — under change control, so a released revision is frozen and a superseded one is kept. 14 stepsOpen View Document Revisions Every version, with who drew it, who checked it and who released it. A released revision is not editable — it is superseded. 13 stepsOpen Records Document Assignments Where a document is used. A drawing belongs to a part, but a routing operation and an inspection plan reference it too — and "what do I have to reissue" is that list. 13 stepsOpen Records CAM / NC Programs Tied to an item REVISION, not to a part. A program posted against revision B and run against revision C makes a thousand parts that pass every check the machine makes. 14 stepsOpen Records Program Tool Lists Which tools a program loads, in the order it loads them. 13 stepsOpen Records Tooling A tool is not an item and not a machine: its life is measured in cuts, and it is reground rather than replaced. 13 stepsOpen
