Define the mapping between the properties of PMI balloons and Inspection Definitions

When a quality engineer imports the product and manufacturing information (PMI) balloons from a part into the Inspection Definitions of a Control Plan, Quality Characteristics are generated from the source balloons and are added to the generated Inspection Definitions. You can define the mapping between the properties of PMI balloons and Inspection Definitions in the ACP_IPXMLKEY_INSPDEFPROPS_MAPPING preference. If you have custom balloon properties, you can define their mapping into an Inspection Definition property in this preference.

Note

To define the mapping for First Article Inspection (FAI) balloons, add the following:

Copy

<Property name of the FAI balloon in the IPXML file>:aqc0IsFAIRequired
