SO say I have a sensor in this NHA structure.
When I open up the full top level assembly model of the entire car say it looks like this.
000-900-111 =Car full assembly
> 000-111-285= Engine compartment installation
>000-285-358= Engine assembly
>000-358-001 part 1
>000-358-002 part 2
>000-907-783 Sensor 1
>Ect....
When I go look at the part path id
Creo view will take those long part number and convert them into a shortform part id path so 000-900-111 it might make an 8 and all the other parts also get an assignment.
So it would look like this with drawing number matched with Part Path ID number assigned by Creo.
Dwg #000-900-111 / 000-111-285 / 000-285-358 / 000-907-283 gives you a PNID path of
PPID# 8 / 42 / 185 / 65
So inside of creo view I have the capability to search for that exact sensor based on that ID,
Now say I didn't want to load up the entire car model and I opened up just the 000-111-285 engine compartment model.
The PNID path you would expect for it given that the sub assembly model fed into the main assembly model would be
DRG# 000-111-285 / 000-285-358 / 000-907-283
PPID# 42 / 185 / 65
But that doesn't happen... you get an entire different set of of PPID# 14/84/11 in this sub assembly creoview model.
Now we track this PPID number at the engineering level and its based off the top level drawing, but anytime I go into a low level drawing since I don't need to load the entire car the PPID# is useless because it reconfigures the number in each individual model.
Why isn't it the same path number no matter where I load it. Why can't the system force all the part path id's from the higher assembly down through the lower level ones to have continuity?
Did I confuse you enough?
