-	#Once NPR is close to completion, the parts must be updated and then moved to Standard Part locations.  If the NPR consists of an Inventor assembly the associated parts must be moved to their respective standard part locations and then the assembly must be updated for new part locations.  The assembly cannot be moved until it has been updated as it cannot be saved once it has been moved.	+

-	#Initiate CPR process using PDMS	+
-	#Part or Assembly file will be copied to CPR location (L:\\CPR\\partnumber\\	+
