Extracting Pin Jig Data in XML File

This task shows you how to extract pin jig data in XML file. The extracted document will show the location of all the pin-jigs associated to a curved panel joining activity in table format. All this information is retrieved from a CATPart resource generated when the activity was created.

Important: You must have already generated the Pin Jig resource data. If you have not done so, you will not be able to extract Pin Jig workshop documents.

 

  1. Click Workshop Documents Extraction .
    The Workshop Documents Extraction dialog box appears.

  2. Select the SHELL.1 Joining activity in the PPR tree.

    Note that two different type of workshop documents can be extracted for Pin Jigs:
    - XML data file
    - resource sketch.

  3. Click the To Extract column to indicate whether or not you want to extract the associated document:
    Clicking in this column switches the value from Yes to No and vice-versa.
    Set to Yes for Pin jigs XML data only.

  4. Click Launch when done.
    Requested workshop document is generated and saved in the location identified in the Project Resource Management (PRM) file.

  5. Open the XML file at the save location using File > Open
    (for example, C:\Temp\SHELL.1 Joining activity.1_Pin jigs XML data.xml).

Example:

Here is an extract from a typical pin jig XML data file:
