Inspection Planner uses CAD files (.CAD extension) to store the imported CAD and any embedded Inspection Plans. This allows you to store multiple Inspection Plans in the IP CAD file. When you import an IP CAD file into PC-DMIS that has one or more embedded plans, PC-DMIS allows you to select Inspection Plans using the File | Import | Inspection Plan menu item.
Inspection Plans are included with an IP CAD file when the plan has been "released". To do release a plan, right-click on a "modified" plan and select Release Plan from the pop-up menu. "Released" plans will be embedded with the saved IP CAD file.
Any
changes made to a plan will change its status to "modified",
requiring that it becomes "released" again.
Alternately, you may choose to import an Inspection Plan into PC-DMIS that you have exported from Inspection Planner.
