distinct raw materials

[PiE81]

Good evening to all,
I am pleased to know how to manage the parts in caia, so as to succeed in obtaining a distinct useful for the purposes of supplying. In particular, I refer to the management of raw materials in order to obtain the finished part.
for standardized components, in catalog, or bought “drawing”, the problem does not arise.
but when I need to buy the crudes and then work them both internally and in the work account, the matter is more complicated.
for now I have created customised attributes (properties added), so as to identify the starting crude. but then I am always obliged to make macchinosi “ragionamenti” in excel (type for nesting, both linear and on sheet).
How are you doing?

Maybe I didn't understand the question. .
but by rough do you mean the maximum size of your piece?

in my opinion, the management of the assemblies and the processes of catia assemblies are not exactly the maximum, indeed... and also the management of the db. use this tool to do what you ask (or for what I understand) seems very complicated, and then difficult to manage/update stablely (especially if there is no pdm). For me excel has that extra flexibility that allows you to get what you ask.

not exactly, I mean the raw material from which, through processing, you get the finished piece as model cad.
For example, I have a 2mm thickness bracket, obtained by dip. my starting crude will be a sheet of 2mm size b x h.

Okay, for now it's clear
what I have not yet understood is what you want to get in distinct base.
would you like the maximum size of your crude for the approviation? type a thickness 2mm 50x30 long 1meter? and on this "l" you will have to do milling and drilling work?
and then to completed work... will you have a 990mm long 49x29?
I would use an excel table.. where in the cells you can put all the formulas you want to get, from the worked piece, the size increased to order the crude.
then, the table excels the absolute to your cartilage with attributes.
I hope I understand your problem and have given you a hand.

taking the sheet as a case, for me it is not advisable to indicate in the properties of the part the size of the sheet (or rough) of departure, but to lean in the management to the Excel (or more extreme access, but much more complicated).
is the component released? Do you have a revision index?
if you change sheet (for example get more pieces) you have to do a new revision to the file? even if the design remains the same? then depends if the code of the starting component is also recalled in 2d. I also agree with the use of the excel

I don't have a pdm, and I think in your case it can serve.
that I know the pdm is made for these things.

using as an example sheet, I find it less easy to rely on the administration of excel that specify the sheet size (or rough) starting in the properties of the piece (or more extreme accesses, but much more complicated).
the part was released? Is there a revision index for this?
is it necessary to make a new modification to the file if you change the sheet (for example to get extra pieces)? even if the design is unchanged? Therefore, it is based on the fact that the code of the initial component is also recalled in two dimensions. I also agree with the use of excel. operation boss
