The generation of the short description library with the creation of the PMC/PCD on PDS 10.12 is no longer supported. Alternatively, use PDS 10.10 for that purpose.

For all commodity codes of the product group/project, the short description library is created following the pattern:

Commodity Code Commodity Code Short Description

Labels are appended to the short description library.

A PDS label is a set of geometry attributes. The structure of the labels cannot be edited in Smart Materials. The assignment of labels is possible on the following levels:

  • Object parameter via the variable attributes

  • Commodity code via the variable attributes

  • Part via the variable attributes

You can determine the place where the PDS label is found by setting the value in the SDL Label field. If you set it to NONE, your SDL (Short Description Library) will contain no label. The value in the SDL Label field contains the prefix P for part, OP for object parameter, and CC for commodity code level. After the underscore, there is the physical name of the variable attribute. This attribute is assigned on A.50.03 for one of the tables (type physical): m_obj_parm for the object parameter, m_parts for the part, and m_commodity_codes for the commodity code level. The logical name of the attribute is not important, but the Physical Attribute value must match the one on PDS 10.01. ATTR_CHAR1 on A.50.03 could, for example, match OP_CHAR1, P_CHAR1, or CC_CHAR1. Go to the S.10.04 screen for the object parameter, S.10.03 for the part, and S.30.01 for the commodity code level, to maintain the values for the SDL label in the appropriate fields.

During generation of the short description library, the corresponding label is appended to the description of the commodity code. Without assignment, a label will not be appended.

The short description library should only be generated if really required, because this process can take a long time. To activate short description library generation with PCD generation, select the Create always during PCD Generation check box.

The following set of options controls the output of the idents. The available options are:

  • all Idents in Project/PG - The output contains all idents in the project/product group (PG), regardless of the specification.

  • only Spec Item Idents – Generates the short description library on the ident level and filters the idents like S.50.07, for specifications in the project/product group scope.

  • only Spec Item Idents in project - Filters the idents like S.50.07, for the specifications in the project.

The settings in the Short Description Library section apply to generation runs from PDS 10.12.
