PDM-UG: Known issues 2
From WikiSTEP
This page belongs to the PDM Usage Guide.
Item Find Number
Legacy AP203 implementations have used the name attribute of the next_assembly_usage_occurrence entity to represent the find_number (or position_number) of a part as it appears on a physical drawing. This conflicts with the AP214 usage of this attribute to distinguish single instances from selected instances.
Mirroring of components
Scaling and mirroring shall not be applied in the context of assemblies. However, it is common practice in CAD systems to use mirror parts. The PDM-IF is planning to test assemblies with mirror parts. Therefore this issue has to be addressed in the next release of the PDM Schema Usage Guide.
