3.3.6.6. Configuration

	Note
	Generally applies that no settings should be performed at the configuration files during current operation (that means as soon as some parts have already been exported and checked in). Some parameters have extensive influence on the integration. In case of doubt please always contact the CADENAS support!

Comments on the single setting options are found in the configuration file itself. In the following only an overview on the most important settings is given.

The settings are performed in the configuration file ifprofile.cfg.

Here details on the PRO.FILE checkin can be set, among others the parameter WORKFLOW_STATE_CREATE, which has to be adequate to the specified workflow final state in PRO.FILE (compare Section 3.3.6.4, “Settings within PRO.FILE”).

Section [CHECKIN]
- Declaration of the used CAD system
  
  Key: CADSYSTEM
  
  The declaration of the CAD system, which shall be used together with ProFile, happens via coding scheme by the following values:
  - 4=ProE
  - 33=Inventor
  - 21=SolidEdge
  - 25=SolidWorks
  Example:
```
CADSYSTEM=33
```
  (See PRO.FILE database table 'CADVERS' fields VE_TYP and VE_REL: 4=ProE, 33=Inventor, 21=SolidEdge, 25=SolidWorks)
- CAD version
  
  Key: CADVERSION
  
  Enter the version of the CAD system.
  
  Example:
```
CADVERSION=2011
```
- Workflow status
  
  Key: WORKFLOW_STATE_CREATE
  
  Determine the workflow status for new created parts.
  
  Example:
```
WORKFLOW_STATE_CREATE=100
```
  You can find the respective status in PRO.FILE under File --> Verwaltungsfunktionen --> Workflow --> Berechtigungstabellen verwalten.
Section [CreationOptions(is3d)]
- Searching for already existing parts?
  
  Key: SearchForExistingPart
  
  Value range: 0/1
  - 0: A new part is always applied.
    
    In order for the ERP number to be inserted into this part, the key OVERWRITE_EXISTING_PARTFIELDS has to be set on 1.
    
    Furthermore an entry for the ERP number has to be set in the section [AttributeMapping].
    
    Example:
    
    [AttributeMapping(is3d)] NFT_FLO0=?GetObject("iface.calcnameservice").start(0).Format ("<ATTR(ERP_PDM_NUMBER)>").value() )
  - 1: When creating new CAD documents it is searched for already existing part in PRO.FILE.
    
    Then the new document is linked with the found part (same ERP number).
    
    If no part is found, then a new one is created (new ERP number) and the document is linked with it.
- Overwrite existing "partFileds"?
  
  Key: OVERWRITE_EXISTING_PARTFIELDS
  
  Value range: 0/1
  - 1: The „partFileds“ of old parts (SearchForExistingPart=1) are overwritten, when a new CAD document is checked in, which references such an old part.
- Determine storage location for ERP numbers
  
  Key: PROFILE_ERPField
  
  Default:
```
PROFILE_ERPField=NFT_FLO0
```
  Here the column name in the PRO.FILE database can be stated, where the ERP number is saved.
- Read PARTsolutions ERP number
  
  Key: PARTsolutions_ERPField
  
  Exemplary entry:
```
PARTsolutions_ERPField=?GetObject("iface.calcnameservice").start(0).
 Format("<ATTR(ERP_PDM_NUMBER)>").value()
```
  Here the PARTsolutions ERP number is read. In the example it is saved in the column "ERP_PDM_NUMBER".
- Keep workflow status?
  
  Key: KEEP_PART_WORKFLOWSTATE
  
  0: Old parts get the workflow status of the new document, which is linked with this part.
  
  1: Old parts keep their workflow status.
Block [AttributeMapping(is3d)]

See Section 3.3.6.8, “Attribute mapping”.
Block [LINKDB_RETURN_MAPPING(is3d)]

See ???.
Section [THUMBNAIL]
- Create thumbnails?
  
  Key create
  
  Values:
  - 0: Don't create thumbnails
  - 1: Create thumbnails with PARTsolutions functionality
  - 2: Create thumbnails with PRO.FILE functionality
- Define thumbnails
  
  Key: createParameter
  
  Here you can specify the size of the thumbnails to be created.
  
  Example for "create =1":
```
createParameter=;imagesize=50x50
```
  The size specification happens in pixel.
  
  Example for "create=2":
```
createParameter=50;50;JPG;16 
```
  The values separated by semi-colon stand for "Hight", "Width", "Image type"; "Color depth".
