It is not necessary to export an Inspection Plan (IP file) if you have released plans with the saved IP CAD file. The IP CAD file contains any embedded Inspection Plans that have been released. Otherwise, exporting a plan for use in PC-DMIS is another method to make Inspection Plans available for PC-DMIS.
To export a new PC-DMIS Inspection Plan, follow this procedure:
Select the needed plan from the Plan list and do one of the following:
Click Export Plan from the Tools toolbar
Select the Tools | Export Plan menu item
Right-click the needed plan and select the Export Plan option from the shortcut menu
The Export Plan dialog box appears.
Export Plan dialog box
Browse to the location where you would like to export the file.
Type a name for the Inspection Planner file in the File name box
Click Save to export the file. This text file can be imported into PC-DMIS. See “Importing the Inspection Plan”.
