Procedure
- Open the Cumulative MS Graphic window.

part with the relevant PNG.
- Right-click and then click Show Graph. The
Select Period Range
dialog box is opened. If you receive an error message after clicking OK in this dialog box, go to step 6 below.
- In the Select Period Range dialog box,
check the default period range displayed in the Range Begin Date and
Range End Date fields. To change this period range, type the number of the period that you want to use as
the period begin number in the Begin Period No field. Then enter the number of the period
that you want to use as the period end number in the End Period No field.
- Click OK. The system now generates a cumulative MS
graph for your specified period range.
- If an error message tells you that the period template date does
not match the part's last run date, right-click and then click Recalculate Period Template. Click
OK to recalculate the template with the correct begin date. Then
right-click and click Show Graph again. When the

Range dialog box appears, follow steps 4 and 5 above.
