We have Part A with Revision 1 and Alternate Method 1. We also have Part B with Revision 1 and Alternate Method 1 as well
In engineering workbench, under the engineering tab/methods, we specify the Alternate Method to use for Part B, tell it to use alternate methods for parts, but when we bring in the Part B Rev 1 Alternate Method as a material to Part A Revision 1, it is not displaying the correct method. It is displaying the Primary Method for Part B Revision 1 not the alternate method
I got this to work in 10.1.500.10 but when I try it in 10.1.500.18 it is not working? Any one else notice this?
Turns out the issue is not so much with loading the alternate method but
that once the Alternate Method is loaded in EWB it will not display in EWB
or in Method tracker. The only way the alternate will show is when you pull
it into Job Entry as an alternate
I’m a little uncertain with what you are seeing. We do as Bruce mentioned and set the ‘primary alternate method’ on the plant to have it automatically load into the Job. Also, to see the alternate method in method tracker, from part tracker/entry alternate methods, right-click on the alternate method id.
Thanks Karen I need to clarify, Yes we see that in the method tracker but
don’t see the correct alternate method in the EWB when it is first created.
Only when we load it into the job. You can see the alternate method display
in EWB on the methods tab, just not in the tree view which.
