3.3.2.  "PARTdataManager" tabbed page

  • DBindex-Directory refers to dbthek, in which "simple" 2D parts are applied. From this directory, for example, 2D thread displays are taken, which can be used collectively for different parts.

  • Show : This field defines the display range of the displayed catalogs in the PARTdataManager. You can basically only select from the following settings: 2D and 3D parts, only 2D parts and only 3D parts. In other words, for example, the setting only 2D parts will no longer have 3D part available for selection.

    However, if you launch PARTdataManager from a CAD system in which either only 2D mode or 3D mode is set, this field is inactive. In this case, the mode set on the CAD system defines the display format.

  • Show 2D/3D parts as: in this field, you can define whether 2D/3D parts are displayed in 2D mode or 3D mode. If this field is blank, you will see a prompt asking you to define in what mode the part is to be displayed when you open 2D/3D parts. This field, in the same way as the Show field, is inactive if a specific format has already been preset on the CAD system.

  • Export bitmaps from : In the PARTdataManager the bitmaps of parts can be exported, for example the BOM-list module PARTbom. Aside from the presetting of exporting bitmaps from the 3D view, you can also export from of the 2D derivation.

  • Modes to show: For each part, a selection regarding the View modes can be defined here. Within the PARTdataManager Part view this selection is then present (see example on the right).

    Options are:

    • Core diameter and nominal thread

    • Only nominal thread (default value)

    • Only core diameter

  • Launch at insert: you can define a Program, e.g. notepad.exe, which is launched together with your CAD system if you export parts from PARTdataManager.
