Name
Specifies the name of the pin jig set. If you change the name, then the name rule changes automatically to User Defined.
Name Rule
Select a name rule for the jig set.
-
Select DefaultNameRule to use the following syntax for a plate system: <"PJ">_<Parent Name>-<Workshare Location ID>-<Index number>. If the parent is an assembly system, the following syntax is used: <"AJ">_<Parent Name>-<Workshare Location ID>-<Index number>. For example, AJ_A10-1-103, where AJ represents the type of pin jig being used, A10 is the assembly parent name, 1 is the workshare location ID, and 103 is a reference number.

Marking Settings
Apply Rule

Pin Jig Remarking Rule Set
Specifies the rule set that the software uses to get the geometry for remarking lines of each type.
Default
Identical to Based on Physical Connection. The options is available so that legacy models continue to work.
Based on Logical Connection
Generates the remarking surface by stitching together the surfaces of the leaf plate systems of the supported plates. It uses the existing geometry (as-is) of logical connections between the following objects:
-
Supported plates and connected plates for plate remarking lines.
-
Supported plates and connected profiles for profile remarking lines.
-
Supported plates for seam remarking lines.
Based on Physical Connection
Generates the remarking surface by stitching the surfaces of the sides of the supported plate parts that face away from the jig floor. This option uses the physical connections between the following objects:
-
Supported plates and connected plates for plate remarking lines.
-
Supported plates and connected profiles for profile remarking lines.
-
Supported plates for seam remarking lines.
The geometry for these remarking lines corresponds to the portion of the physical connection geometry that lies on the remarking surface.
Based on Part Surface and Logical Connection
Generates the remarking surface by stitching the surfaces of the sides of the supported plate parts that face away from the jig floor. This options uses the logical connections between the following objects:
-
Supported plates and connected plates for plate remarking lines.
-
Supported plates and connected profiles for profile remarking lines.
-
Supported plates for seam remarking lines.
Seam Remarking Lines
Specifies whether seam remarking lines are applied or ignored. This value defaults to Ignore for individual plates. For assemblies, this value defaults to Apply.
Plate Remarking Lines
Specifies whether plate remarking lines are applied or ignored. The following options are available:
Ignore
Indicates that plate remarking lines are not applied.
Apply
Creates a remarking line at the logical connection.
Both Sides
Creates remarking lines representing the molded and anti-molded sides of the connected plate part.
Both Sides with LC
Creates the remarking lines representing the molded and anti-molded sides of the connected plate parts along with the logical connection remarking line.
