Managing the Control Plan
Cross-probing of Control and Inspection Planning PMI in Active Workspace embedded in NX
When working on a Control Plan in Active Workspace embedded in NX, you can cross-probe between the PMI in the graphics window in NX, the Model-Based Definition (MBD) Navigator in NX, and the Inspection Definitions of the Control Plan. With cross-probing, you can select an object in one application, resulting in the corresponding object being selected in other applications. When you select an Inspection Definition, its corresponding dimension is highlighted in the graphics window, which allows you to identify the dimension related to the Inspection Definition.
If you select a single or multiple Inspection Definitions in the Control Plan, the corresponding PMI objects are highlighted in the graphics window and the MBD Navigator. Also, if you select a single or multiple PMI objects in the graphics window or MBD Navigator, the Control Plan expands to the corresponding Inspection Definitions, which become highlighted in the Control Plan. If you clear any selections, the corresponding selections are also cleared.
