Subject: Re: [plcs-dex] Questions regarding Next_assembly_usage
Hmmm.... we may be talking about different things. R1 on a circuit board, as I understand it, is a logical thing - not a physical thing. That R1 identifier was created in the ee logic design system long before things got physical. At least that's my recollection, although this was many years ago. Either way, left from wheel or R1 are not a parts in an assembly. "Part" has a special meaning - or at least did in IBM and similar mfg orgs - of being the smallest physical component in a design. Of course, some of IBM's Parts were other people's assemblies but in no case was Part used to define a logical/functional item.
