Starting with version 4.12 it is possible to automate the part selection for job creation by importing a Magics CSV report. The magics CSV import functionality is released with 4.12 in a beta version and needs to be activated via the admin panel.
Feel free to reach out to your project manager or product@3yourmind.com and request activation of the magics csv import option for beta testing.
The Magics CSV can be read to automatically match parts and their individual quantities with the build generated in magics. In order for the matching logic to work, the following prerequisites need to be met in the 3YOURMIND MES:
MES activated
Order updated to any status of the “in progress” category - relevant parts are existing in MES
Workflows and workstations configured
Workflows assigned to parts
Part_ID is set as first variable in the file naming format
Part_ID is followed by a dash “-” in the file naming format
Each part copy is written in a separate line
Requirements for the Magics CSV:
3D files need to be imported to Magics with the part_id at the beginning of the file name
A Magics report needs to be exported and saved as .CSV
The names of the 3D files need to be written in the first column of the CSV
Each copy of a part in the build needs to be written to the CSV template in a separate line (e.g. a part with a quantity of 5 needs to have 5 individual lines in the CSV)
An example CSV containing only the needed information is shown below. The following file represents a build containing part #437 with a total quantity of 5 (number of lines are counted) and #438 with a total quantity of 3.
