Customization
by its very nature caters to the exact needs of a specific
client. However, we share some suggested applications for
customization that you may also relate to, or maybe they will
trigger some of your own thoughts.

Solution
|
|
Exporting
I-DEAS data
to our suppliers is harder and more time consuming than
it needs to be.
|
 |
Click
icon, click part...
based on stored settings part is exported, named, zipped,
and archived in an organized directory structure under
project and library.
|
|
We
would like to swap the contents of the name
field with the contents of the partnumber field
for all library items in our entire installation.
|
|
Start
batch program...
With meticulous attention to accuracy swap each pair,
if an error condition is encountered, file a log report,
then continue.
|
|
Manually
entering
revision block information
is wasting time.
|
|
Click
icon, enter text...
revision block
automatically filled out with automatic text wrapping,
next sequential pre-production or production revision
level, and date
|
|
We
design families of products which differ only
in size and optional add-ons. I want to reduce the amount
of redundant work required to design the whole product
line.
|
|
Starting
with a parent design including parts, assembly, and
drawings; click Define Parent icon, indicate the
optional add-on features, select the driving dimensions.
Click Define Child icon, toggle add-ons Off or On, enter
the driving dimension values...
A properly configured database driven child design consisting
of parts, assembly, and drawings appears on the workbench.
