Cost overrides summary dialog

In association with the capability to override computed values, aPriori provides a Cost Overrides Summary dialog.

 

This dialog summarizes the many different types of inputs and overrides you may have when costing a component, and enables you to revert all or selected overrides.

1. Select Edit > Cost Overrides Summary from the Manufacturing Process pane to invoke the dialog.  The dialog presents several types of overrides made to the part, including the following:

   • Overridden fields in the Cost Summary, Part Details, and Assembly Details tabs.
     See Overriding computed values.

   • Material selections
     If a user explicitly selected a material rather than using the default material for the Digital Factory.
     See Material selection.

   • Routing selections
     If a user explicitly selected a routing rather than allowing aPriori to auto-select the routing based on lowest cost.
     See Selecting a process routing.

   • Machine selections
     If a user explicitly selected a machine rather than using the one chosen automatically by aPriori.
     See Selecting a machine for an operation.

   • Feasibility rule overrides
     If the user unchecked the box indicating the system should apply the default process and machine feasibility rules.
     See Selecting a process routing.

   • Process Setup Option settings
     If the user edited the default setting for any process setup options.
     See Editing process setup options.

   • Tolerance and Roughness settings
     If the user explicitly specified any tolerance or roughness values.
     See Specifying or importing tolerance and roughness values.

   • GCD Properties such as indicating a hole is threaded.
     See Editing values in the GCD properties table .

   • Production inputs if your installation has been configured to automatically map CAD properties.
     See Costing using CAD properties .

2. In addition to organizing and summarizing these many types of inputs and overrides, the Cost Overrides Summary dialog also enables you to undo (revert) all or selected overrides.

   • Use the Clear All Overrides button to remove all inputs and overrides applied to the component. Alternatively, you can remove only selected overrides, such as all the overrides related to a given process, or a single field.

   • Select the desired row or set of overrides, right click, and select Remove Override from the popup menu.
