2.1.1.1. Structure of the GUI

All setting options are based upon configuration files. These are structured by blocks and keys. Keys can contain categories which represent a condition depending on which the key is used or not. Keys contain one or more values.

The following figure shows how the particular blocks, keys, categories and values are displayed under PARTadmin -> Category -> PARTsolutions -> CAD integration.

  • Blocks:

    Under Category -> CAD integration blocks are represented via tabbed pages and are selected via tabs.

    The following list shows cad encompassing all kinds of tabbed pages. These may have different names depending on CAD system.

    • "Simple" settings

      On the Simple tabbed page the most important settings are found.[32]

    • Enhanced options (3D/2D/native)

    • Interface

    • Material mapping

    • Attribute settings(3D/2D/native)

      Each CAD system has several tabbed pages for the attribute mapping.

    [Note] Note

    Each CAD system has several tabbed pages for the attribute mapping.

  • Key:

    Each tabbed page lists the keys one below the other.

    In the figure above "ConnPointFolder", "ExcludeFromBom", etc.

    If there are different categories inside a key (information regarding creation of categories is found under Section 2.2.1.2, “ What are categories?”), then these are displayed side by side (see figure above FileName(Part) and FileName(Assembly)).

    Activate/deactivate keys:

    The checkbox before each single key name controls activation and deactivation.

  • Values:

    If a key contains several values, then these are displayed one below the other inside the key block (see figure above).

    Path:

    <GENNAME><MATERIAL(_)>

    Extension:

    .sldprt

    or

    .sldasm
