Saving a Project |
Manufacturing Hub Automatic Save (Warmstart) Behavior Automatic Save (Warmstart) will not occur when a Structure Exposed document is loaded within a DELMIA session, and will be deactivated (if it is turned ON) until the Structure Exposed documents have been unloaded. When the first automatic save is cancelled, a Warning box is displayed advising that Warmstart has been deactivated and also listing the documents that are stored as Structure Exposed. Further cancellations of automatic saves won't display any warnings. Once all Structure Exposed documents have been unloaded, a Warning box is displayed advising that Warmstart has been reactivated and documents stored as Structure Exposed have been unloaded. In Case of Manufacturing Hub ‘Activity Library’ file (.act) is ‘Structure Exposed’ and hence ‘Automatic Save’ is disabled. |

Loading a PPR from a Project |
Plantype naming restrictions
When loading data from Manufacturing Hub, an activity type library is created in DPM that corresponds to the Manufacturing Hub plantypeset. All process types in DPM are derived from a base type named "Activity" and you cannot create a new type named "Activity". Due to this DPM restriction, you cannot create a process plantype named "Activity" in the Manufacturing Hub. If a plantype named "Activity" is created in Manufacturing Hub, no objects of this plantype will be loaded in DPM. |

Saving with Detailing Data |
Reparenting and its Effect on Detailing
When a Manufacturing Hub process with detailing data is moved under a new parent with the Reparent Activity command in DPM, existing simulation data under the process is retained in the new location. For this reason, it is recommended that Reparent Activity is used when a process must be moved. When a Manufacturing Hub Process with detailing data is moved under a new parent in DPM via other methods, such as drag-and-drop, cut-and-paste or copy-and-paste, the following occurs:
As the Process and all of its children are newly created, any simulation data under the children of the original process is not retained in the copied processes. |

What is Saved Back into the Manufacturing Hub |
Process Reparenting in DPM When a process in a Manufacturing Hub project is reparented in DPM and subsequently saved back to the Manufacturing Hub, the following events occur in Process Engineer:
Although the original process is no longer linked to the original parent, is not deleted; it is still present in the Project Library with its original name. Objects that were associated to the original process still retain the links to the original process. This results in those objects being linked to two distinct processes of the same name in Process Engineer. As illustrated in the example below, if Subassembly1 is linked to OP1
and OP1 is then moved to a new parent in DPM, Subassembly1 will be
linked to both the original and new copies of OP1 after the project is
saved in the Manufacturing Hub: ![]()
Save of States & Position back to Manufacturing Hub New 'Manufacturing Positions' and '3D States' created in V5 using the Create Positions and Create State command respectively, for the products and resources loaded from the Manufacturing Hub will be saved back to Manufacturing Hub. However the association between the "Manufacturing Positions" and "3D States" created in V5 and their owning products and resources is saved back to the Manufacturing Hub only if products and resources are of an non-organizational plantype. New "Conditions" created using the Define Condition command created for activities which are loaded from the Manufacturing Hub will be saved back to Manufacturing Hub. This is applicable only for activities which are of an non-organizational plantype in the Manufacturing Hub. |

Viewing and Editing Current Manufacturing Hub Session Data |
Use Implicit Filtering indicates whether the Apply
Implicit Filtering option was enabled at the time that the current
project was loaded from the Manufacturing Hub. This control is used only
to display the implicit filtering status for the loaded project and can
not be changed from the Edit Manufacturing Hub Document Info
dialog box. |

Search for a Process, Product, Resource or Work Station Component |
The following combobox option has been documented for the PPR Search
dialog box:

Loading the Manufacturing Context > Volume filter limitations |
If the position of the reference product is modified in V5 and
subsequently saved back to ENOVIA, the product data must be imported
from ENOVIA (incremental import) into the Manufacturing Hub again to
update its position information. If the product data is not re-imported,
the volumetric filter defined with respect to this reference product
will not have its bounding box updated accordingly and the filtering
results will not be accurate. |

CAA API to access attributes on Parent-Child Link |
Since V5R19 SP1 following functionality is available. The following script-snippet shows how to use the functionality. Sample Script :
The
user can use any of the set/get methods exposed in the IDL ‘DELMIAIPDPDProperty’
to set/get different attributes on the parent-child links. |
|
DNBIPDMutipleClient--Registration.reg
|
Since R11 GA the
following functionality is available Registry file called DNBIPDMultipleClientRegistration.reg is delivered in <Installation Directory>/intel_a/code/command> folder. This file needs to be run once after the fresh installation of DELMIA V5 This is required to support remote DPE
server-DELMIA V5 client connection. This file registers the
security settings for three applications:- DELMIA.exe, CNEXT.exe and
DirectLaunch.exe |

Identifying Filter Selectionon |
In Project selection dialog there is no way to tell if user has selected
filter on Global, Product, Process & Resource TAB. Only way is to click
on tab and check value in selection combo. If this is empty means no
filter selected, otherwise some filter is selected. In R19 SP7 we introducing icon along with TAB name to identify filter selection, so that there is no need for user to click on TAB to check filter selection as shown below image ![]() If there is active filter selected for TAB then icon with check mark will be displayed, otherwise if no active filter is selected then empty icon will be displayed. In example above Global & Process TAB has active filter selected, where as for Product & Resource no filter has been selected. |

Saving detailing on Released or Integrated Process & Resource |
In R19 SP6 if user load Released/Integrated Process and Resource in DPM,
a warning message will be displayed indicating user cannot save a
detailing. In R19SP7 it is now possible to save a detailing on a
Released/Integrated Process and Resource. In order to activate this
functionality user needs to set environment variable
DLM_MHI_IGNORE_PLANNINGSTATE=TRUE and do the necessary
customization on DPE side to allow save in 'Released' or 'Integrated'
state. Following is the minimum DPE configuration changes needed.
DPE Customization for Blob type
DPE Customization for Process type

Creating a PackNGo Dataset | After generating a PackNGo dataset in V5 DPM, the new CATProcess created in the PackNGo location is loaded in DPM replacing the document loaded from the Manufacturing Hub. All commands interacting with the Manufacturing Hub are disabled, as the loaded CATProcess is not a Manufacturing Hub document. | |
Inserting a process and/or resource from a template |
You can also select and position a resource with compass when Insert Processes/Resources From A Template
dialog box is open. After launching the command Instantiate from Template
