  • Design Guidance (impacts only design guidance): This release completes the guidance type classification for alternative stock selection rules in the Stock Machining process group. Previously, alternative stock selection issues appeared as Unclassified in the Design Guidance panel. Now, alternative stock availability rules are now correctly classified as Cost Driver issues:
    • Alternative Available Plate Stock
    • Alternative Available Rectangular Bar Stock
    • Alternative Available Round Bar Stock
    • Alternative Available Round Tube Stock
    • Alternative Available Square Bar Stock

    Note:

    The manufacturabilitySeverity table intentionally was not added to the baseline Stock Machining process model at this time, as all out-of-the-box rules are classified as cost drivers only and do not require severity thresholds. If your company wishes to configure additional manufacturability rules and assign severity levels, simply create a table with this name and follow the pattern used in other process groups. See Design Guidance Configuration.
