SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INCREASING READABILITY OF PRODUCT AND MANUFACTURING INFORMATION (PMI)

Abstract:

The present application is directed to techniques for improving the readability of product and manufacturing information (PMI) associated with models, such as computer-aided design models. In one embodiment, a system includes a processor for implementing a computer-aided technology (CAx) system. The CAx system includes a graphical-user-interface (GUI) configured to present a first view of a computer-aided design (CAD) model that includes at least one part. Additionally, the system includes memory storing instructions configured to cause the processor to generate a product and manufacturing information (PMI) associated with the CAD model, present the CAD model with the PMI via the GUI, and determine a PMI readability metric.
