Macros contain a sequence of instructions or declarations under a certain name, in order to execute these with one simple command (instead of the single commands).

See Section 2.2.8.1, “ Block [Macros]”.

Explanations on categories can be found under Section 2.2.1.1, “ What are categories?”.

Example:

is2d

The expression is valid, if the document is a 2D element.

Object is a catalog

Object is a project

Object is a concrete project

Example: isProjectFile(din_975.prj)

Document is a 2D element

Document is a 3D element

Document is a native part

Document is a 3D assembly

Document is a 3D part

Document is a INCH part

Document is a MM part

Document is not a top level element

Document is a top level element

Document is a sub-assembly

Document is a sub-part

Valid for PARTconnection export and document is asm

Valid for PARTconnection export and document is part

Valid for all parts/assembly of a partconnection export

Valid for a negative part independent of PARTconnection

Not under Windows

Under Windows

For connection elements such as bolts, nuts, rings, etc. cutting in the 2D view can be excluded.

Note

The block is disabled or not existing by default. As of V11 desired parts are classified in the project itself. See Section 5.14, “ Add projects to classification ” in eCATALOGsolutions Manual -> Classification (CNS) -> Connection elements such as bolts, nuts, rings, pins, etc. In exceptional cases interaction via configuration file by consulting is possible. See Section 2.2.8.7, “ Block [NoSection] ”.

Semi finished products can be declared as such.

Default callbacks. You can customize the callbacks here (or overwrite them in the specific interface configuration).

For examples see config help.

Design of PARTsolutions interface menu and toolbar

Details on this can be found under Section 2.2.1.6, “Configuring PARTsolutions interface menu and toolbar ”.

Mostly path to resources

Also see Section 2.2.8.3, “Block [Placement]”.

Mappings 1 to 7 create the mapping for the material

First choice is the "MAT_NAME" column in the characteristic attribute table (used with ERP integration). Second choice is the "virtual" column "CNSMAT" (without ERP integration).

Also see Section 2.2.8.5, “ Block [ClassMapping]” and Section 2.2.5, “Material mapping ”.

This settings concerns the level of detail for the export.
