T for Thumbnail (Read 6424 times)

David Waldmann Active Member Live to work, or work to live? Posts: 1919 Gender:	Re: T for Thumbnail Reply #15 - 08/14/13 at 09:15:21 Congrats. I've thought about putting thumbs on Sales related docs but am just not sure I want to do that. We already have the images (we generally only print them on Travelers) so it would just be a matter of updating the links and modifying the forms. A relatively simple task.

IN-A, IN-B, Bom editing maybe. Or is that available with the T7 screens already ?

Shadowcaster - any chance you can print an example of one of your WO Boms / travelers with the thumbnails / photos linked and post for us to see? I've abandoned creating travelers with EVO and just started using CAD software to implement my photo routings, however I'd much rather have everything tied together in the database instead of using 2 separate data sources.

Thanks, Mike

Here are some working examples of DBA shop documents and orders
with thumbnails turned on

http://www.waddingtonelectronics.com/DBA/default.html

everyone's situation is different but this works for me

the print book example is what we send to the shop for CNC work.
If someone needs a large format drawing (Electrical or assembly) I do those manually or the guy that needs them can print them when he needs it in some cases.
99 % dont need that in my case. Some of the guys will print the word doc page they need as a large format D or E and the prints come out fine so I dont have to get involved.

I do a copylink from autocad for the manufacturing drawings and paste them into a word document as vector files not bit maps.

I like word as a container because you can stick just about any kind of data in it and the cad files print cleanly from there.

The word files are linked to print with Travelers and sometimes with a PO or RFQ if it needs a drawing to go with the order.

I turned off thumbs for components on travelers because we had them on the pick lists and it was redundant but we still use them on the header/parent item.

They look nice, thanks for the information.
We never tried using the pick lists since our BOM component lists are generally under 8 components and most items are not packed loose, however I see how having a small snapshot of the items would be beneficial for the pickers assembling the BOM kits.
We tried linking some thumbs to our BOMs but I was never happy with the results.

What I do now is make instruction sheets in CAD that allow me to quickly insert text and large photos to make a booklet that accompanies the shop traveler. Generally they are around 10 pages long and try to keep the text brief and the photos to a minimum.
"K.I.S.S." is always in my mind.

What I would like to see is a way for us to link photos of any size directly to the routing sequences on a shop traveler, so we can not only explain what needs to be performed but have large graphic examples available as well. In a manufacturing environment like ours it would be very helpful. Maybe their is a way to do it and I'm just unfamiliar with the coding required?

Essentially I'd like a Shop Traveler Routing format like:
Operation #1 [Title]
Text of what to do + other pertinent information
Photo(s) of what to perform

Operation #2 [Title]
Text of what to do + other pertinent information
Photo(s) of what to perform

Operation #3 [Title]
Text of what to do + other pertinent information
Photo(s) of what to perform

Printer ink is cheap - production mistakes are not

Here is a couple of photos of a current shop traveler along with one of the pages we use for assembly.
It's not shown, but sequence #80 is for the testing and matches page 8. My employees know #10 = 1, #20 = 2, etc...

Printed an exploded 3 level BOM with thumbs to a 144 page PDF 0.0 black boxes Make sure your thumbs don't exceed 300 in either direction and they will work.
