11.5.2.2.4.1. Standard variables

11.5.2.2.4.1.1. Transfer order number to the CAD
11.5.2.2.4.1.2. Mark parts to be avoided

Standard variables are used for various purposes and can simply be added to the table.

Standard variables with identification type Geometry attribute are for example:

CNSDENSITY (Density)
CNSMASSEXACT (Mass)
CNSVOLUMNEEXACT (Volume)
CNSMAT (Material)

Standard variable with identification type Object attribute is for example:

CNSORDERNO (order number)

Transfer order number to CAD system via standard variable.

On this see Section 11.5.2.2.4.1.1, “Transfer order number to the CAD ”.

Standard variable to mark parts to avoid:

CNSAVOID

In the DIN, EN and ISO datasheets (as well as other country standards) certain sizes (characteristics) are sometimes considered to be avoided.

On this see under Section 11.5.2.2.4.1.2, “Mark parts to be avoided ”.

11.5.2.2.4.1.1. Transfer order number to the CAD

Apply the order number as Standard variable in the part.

	Note
	When exporting the part into the CAD system later, the respective Standard variables are found in the CAD system, in the file properties.

	Note
	You can also transfer the Standard variable CNSORDERNO via CNS classification into the CAD system. On this see Section 7.8.2.4, “ Variables ” (Variable with order number).

In order to insert the Standard variable CNSORDERNO into the table proceed as follows:

Click on the button Standard variables.

-> The respective dialog box opens.

Dialog box "Standard variables"
Activate the variables, which you want to overtake and confirm with OK.

-> Now the respective Standard variables are displayed in the list.
Close the dialog box Variable Manager by clicking on Ok.

-> Now the respective Standard variables are displayed in the table.

Dialog box "Standard variables"

Alternative concept

Instead of applying Standard variables in the table, you can apply the same variables as Class variables.

Dialog box "Class variables"

On this see Section 7.8.2.5.1, “CNS classification and attributes ”.

11.5.2.2.4.1.2. Mark parts to be avoided

Note

	Note
As of V10 the marking of parts/lines to be avoided happens by an own variable CNSAVOID in the characteristic attribute table. Control by the configuration file `$CADENAS_DATA/datasetup/avoid_parts.cfg` is not used anymore!

As of V10 the marking of parts/lines to be avoided happens by an own variable CNSAVOID in the characteristic attribute table.

Control by the configuration file $CADENAS_DATA/datasetup/avoid_parts.cfg is not used anymore!

Marked lines are displayed with the respective icon in PARTdataManager, in the characteristic attribute table. You can enable or disable the function via toolbar icon .

Default is enabled so that all project lines are displayed.

If you disable the function, lines with icon are hidden.

Create the standard variable CNSAVOID in PARTeditor, in the table.

PARTeditor -> Variable Manager -> Standard variables
By default, set the value 0 for all lines. For lines (parts) to be avoided set the value 1.
Hide the column CNSAVOID for the PARTdataManager view.

Therefor make sure that there are no assignments to any group.

PARTproject -> Tabbed page "General" -> Order/Groups of Variables

	Tip
	The following markup of parts complement each other: Replaced parts / replacement parts (see Section 1.1.6.5.3, “ replace_std.cfg ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual) Parts to be avoided (description in the section in hand) Parts with End-of-Life date (see Section 4.8.2.12, “Expiration date ”)
