| # Print Reference Designators by Engineering Item (tiedm0420m000) Use this session to print reference designators by engineering item. You can print two types of report: A report that lists the reference designators that are linked to a specific engineering item. To print the report, click Print by Item, and enter an engineering item, or a range of engineering items. A report that lists the engineering items that have BOM lines to which a specific reference designator is linked. Click Print by Reference Designator, and enter a reference designators, or a range of reference designators.

Click Print by Reference Designator to print a report that lists the engineering items that have BOM lines to which a specific reference designator is linked. Engineering Item An item in the process of development. You can define multiple revisions of an engineering item. Typically, the most recent revisions are still in a design or test phase, another revision may have been taken into production, and older revisions are obsolete. A normal item can only become revision-controlled when it is copied from the Engineering Data Management module. Revision A version or revised version of an engineering item (E-item) or a revision-controlled item, that is, an item linked to an E-item. Several revisions of an E-item can exist. Example E-item: Mountain bike E-MB01

Reference designator Indicates the location to insert a component on an item, for example, where to mount an electronic component on a Printed Circuit Board. Reference designators are often used in electronics, and can originate from a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) station. Related topics Overview of reference designators |
