Cost overrides summary dialog

To view all the overrides for the current scenario, select Edit > Cost Overrides Summary from the Manufacturing Process pane:

The Cost Overrides Summary dialog lists all the overrides together with the original default values, if there were any:

The top of the dialog has two selections:

  • Show overrides for all processes/routings.
  • Show overrides for currently selected routing only (last costed routing).

The 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:

  • Overridden fields in the Cost Summary, Part Details, and Assembly Details tabs.

    See Override Computed Values.

  • Material selections

    If a user explicitly selected a material rather than using the default material for the Digital Factory.

    See View and Edit a Material.

  • Routing selections

    If a user explicitly selected a routing rather than allowing aPriori to auto-select the routing based on lowest cost.

    See Edit a Process Routing.

  • Machine selections

    If a user explicitly selected a machine rather than using the one chosen automatically by aPriori.

    See Edit Machine Selection.

  • Feasibility rule overrides

    If the user unchecked the box indicating the system should apply the default process and machine feasibility rules.

    See Edit a Process Routing.

  • Process Setup Option settings

    If the user edited the default setting for any process setup options.

    See Edit Process Setup Options.

  • Tolerance and Roughness settings

    If the user explicitly specified any tolerance or roughness values.

    See Edit Tolerances.

  • 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 .

Note:

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.
