11.5.2.2.1.  Attribute description set

  • Name of variable :

    The abbreviation given in this field will be displayed in the table as the column title.

  • DIN / ISO-ID :

    The DIN-ID contains the dimension letter from the dimensional and/or product standard. For the Nominal diameter of a screw, for example, it may be D1. Dimension letters, such as for example, green lettering (alpha), could be written out as a word.

  • Unit :

    Unit used as standard for this variable. As long as no changes have been made, mm is automatically displayed.

[Note] Note

The information in fields DIN / ISO-IDand Unitis optional. Neither is it absolutely necessary to define a unit if data type "Number" is set.

  • Data type : Setting "Number" allows only numeric values. It must be used in the case of variables whose values are included in calculations.

    • "Text" is practical in the case of expressions which are to include all signs. Text variables may, however, not be used for calculation.

    • Number

  • Description : A description text may be added to the variables.

    If you click in PARTdataManager on the variable name later, this description is then displayed.

  • Identification type

    Due to the meaning of the type of identification you can find commentary at the end of the list in its own paragraph.

    See also Section 1.1.6.7.21.3.2, “ Key "LockDimRange" ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.

  • Within the system, the difference based on the Status is also relevant.

    Status: a distinction is made between the following status types:

    Variable with fixed values (Default setting)

    The data is located in the corresponding *.tab file. Table values can be edited directly in the PARTeditor GUI.

    With this setting, a check mark is automatically set for Display, Set.

    Attribute algorithm

    The value of a variable can be calculated by a so-called attribute algorithm.

    Dependences/conditions between variables can expressed with attribute algorithms.

    Example 1: "If D1=12, then D2=D3". In this case, an attribute algorithm must be stated for var i able D2.

    Example 2: if a variable has a constant value, e.g. "D2=20", an algorithm can also be used.

    Please refer to Section 8.5.2.7, “ Attribute algorithms ” if you define attribute algorithms.

    Value range variables

    Variables whose values lie within a defined range, e.g. "10 to 20" or on which several fixed values are available for selection are assigned status Value range variables.

    Please refer to Section 8.5.2.6, “ Value ranges ” for how to define value ranges.

    [Note] Note

    If you choose Attribute algorithm or Value range variables as the status, the related variable/column is displayed only in Test mode or Debugger mode of PARTeditor.
