The setting options for Search unmachined parts for finished part and Search finished parts for unmachined part are identic.
-
Search sample (finished part) / Search sample (unmachined part)
-
Accepted error in finished part
The error is caused by "missing material" on the unmachined part.
-
Maximum waste in unmachined part
The maximum waste defines, how much material is allowed to be removed.
-
The resolution controls the search quality. With higher resolution more details are covered, however the search takes more time.
-
A Search for unmachined parts can be combined with a Variables search. Under Section 3.1.2.3.3.1.2.1, “Example - Search for unmachined parts combined with Variables search ” you can find an example on this.
Detailed information on Variables search is found under Section 3.1.1.6.4.3, “ Variables search ”.
-
It is also possible to create a report based on preferred parts. Therefor activate the checkbox. This is according to the activation of the button Preferred rows on/off
in the ERP toolbar. Then the report only uses
preferred parts.

With click on
the button Edit custom variables 
the Custom variables
dialog box opens.
Here you can define variables, which will be shown at each part in the report in addition.
You can define both ERP variables and variables from the characteristic attribute table.
At first click on in order to add a new line.
-
At first determine the variable type. With double-click on a line under Variable type the list field opens with the following options:
-
With double-click on a line under "Variable" a list field with the following input options opens:
-
Options for variable type "ERP":
The ERP variables from the table are read and displayed in the list field. Select one of the displayed variables or enter yourself a value.
-
Options for variable type "Table":
The variables of the characteristic attribute table are read and displayed in the list field. Select one of the displayed variables or enter yourself a value.
-
-
Enter a label in the input field. It will be displayed in the report later.
-
Optionally you can select a unit in the list field.
If the variable has no own unit, the selected unit is displayed.
If the variable has a unit, the value is converted - if needed. (The conversion is only possible for the type "Table".)
The diameter in the table is displayed in "inch". You have selected "mm" in the list field. -> The value is automatically converted from "inch" to "mm".

Via function Filter for results the results can be further restricted. Available is the filter Variables search. You can use the function repeatedly by clicking on Add search function.
The functionality is according to the standard search function:
Details on the Variables search are found under Section 3.1.1.6.4.3, “ Variables search ”.
The following example assumes the mirroring of material groups in an ERP number token. In this case it makes sense to add a Variables search to the Search for unmachined parts.
-
Open the respective dialog box via Extras menu -> Search for unmachined parts -> Search unmachined parts for finished part -> Create report... or alternatively via context menu command on the selected project or directory.
-
If needed adjust the standard settings. See above.
In order to add the Variables search click on the blue link Variables search in the section Filter for results.
-
-> The Variables search dialog box opens.
At the ERP_PDM_NUMBER variable enter the token for the desired material group.
Now those parts are filtered from the original result list, which ERP number begins with 'BCD'.
-
-> Now you can see your entry in the Search unmachined parts for finished part dialog box under Filter for results. The filter is already activated
.In order to display the ERP number in the report, add the variable ERP_PDM_NUMBER under Custom variables.
-
-> The Custom variables dialog box opens.
Click on , select the variable ERP_PDM_NUMBER via list field and confirm wit . See above.
-
-> Now your entry is displayed in the Search unmachined parts for finished part dialog box under Custom variables.
-
Only parts with the ERP number token 'BCD' are displayed in the report and the ERP number is part of the description.
-
By clicking on the Search dialog box is opened.
There you can search for a certain ERP number or for any variable (which is not necessarily displayed in the report).
By double-clicking on a result part you can jump to the respective place in the report.
-
In the index tree project/directories where a report is based on, are marked with the icon Available analyses
. Mouseover displays a tooltip what the analyses
are about.
