Three indicators in the Indicator widget highlight different aspects of the part design.
|
Manufacturability indicator |
|
Cost efficiency indicator |
|
Plastic material impact indicator |
The height and color of the panel behind each of these indicators represent how well the current design falls within the set design criteria. A full green panel indicates high compliance to the criteria while a low red panel represents a design that needs further investigation.

Each indicator result summarizes the overall criteria compliance. It is possible to have, for example, a
Manufacturing indicator that overall has a high compliance, but one or more of the elements that comprise the indicator - draft angles for example, has specific issues that need to be considered. In this case, an alert icon
is added to the indicator.

To find out more about an indicator, click on the icon, and a pop-up dialog with two tabs is displayed. The Alerts tab notes parameters that need further attention. Several individual parameters have sub-menus that help visualize or rectify the problem. The Information tab shows how each parameter contributes to the indicator value.
