Structure Explorer Workspace The bill of material both ways: exploded and costed downwards, and where-used upwards. One walk, written once, so the shortage report, the costing run and this screen agree. 0 0 0
Engineering Documents List The drawing, the model, the specification and the work instruction — under change control, so a released revision is frozen and a superseded one is kept. 10 10 2
Document Revisions Read-only list Every version, with who drew it, who checked it and who released it. A released revision is not editable — it is superseded. 9 0 1
Document Links List Where a document is used. A drawing belongs to a part, but a routing operation and an inspection plan reference it too — and "what do I have to reissue" is that list. 6 5 0
CAM / NC Programs List Tied to an item REVISION, not to a part. A program posted against revision B and run against revision C makes a thousand parts that pass every check the machine makes. 11 16 3
Program Tool Lists List Which tools a program loads, in the order it loads them. 8 6 0
Tooling List A tool is not an item and not a machine: its life is measured in cuts, and it is reground rather than replaced. 9 14 0
