Our 3D CAD supplier models have been moved to 3Dfindit.com, the new visual search engine for 3D CAD, CAE & BIM models.
You can log in there with your existing account of this site.
The content remains free of charge.
Under PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Offline -> Check -> tabbed page Status you will get a list of all projects.
Here, you can see at once if project names changed.
-> The dialog box Check is opened.
Now you have the following options available:
Here, in the example in hand the option Check CIP file is used. Select the tabbed page Status.
With the help of the list you get an overview how many projects are affected by changes.
Make a note which projects are no more available („x“) – these can be looked at closely later.
Have a look whether there is a matching project available at the new data („!“) (first glance) and make a note.
Under PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Offline -> Compare you can see a Catalog comparison with directory structure and table. Changes of the directory structure can be seen at once.
-> The dialog box Catalog comparison opens.
Evaluate results from the detailed comparison.
In the comparison, you can recognize changes in directory structure, but also similarities in name.
At changes of table values, these can be looked up directly in the comparison.
-> An inquiry is displayed where you have to decide whether you want the ERP search index to be updated after the installation. When clicking the color display in the index tree is correct in any case, (which is not absolutely necessary for the assignment).
-> Next, the dialog box CIP Installation opens.
On the tabbed page Protocol you get an overview how many datasets could be mapped successfully.
successfully performed mapping
If the only changes are in directory structure, the mapping status is "successful".
If project name and standard number are unchanged and only standard name or and the directory structure are changed, the mapping status is "to check".
If project name and standard number have been changed, no automatic mapping is possible.
On the tabbed page ERP Status all projects are listed with Status, ERP number, Path, Path (new), NB and NB (new).
