2.2.1.1. Simplified syntax

For editing the keys under PARTadmin -> Category -> PARTsolutions -> CAD integration (simple mode) you only need basic syntax knowledge. Usually a default value is entered which you then only need to adjust accordingly.

[Note] Note

In the simple mode[34] You may however only change the default value Behind the display text there is often a complex VB expression.

If red markings appear in the following examples, then only these parts of the expression may be changed.

Complex changes can be made in the mode with expanded key display.

All possibilities of adjusting the key you have under PARTadmin -> Category -> PARTsolutions -> Configuration files -> $CADENAS_SETUP -> if<cad name>.cfg. See Section 2.1.2, “User interface for Category "Configuration files" ”.

  • Text can be applied in two different ways:

    1. Text

      For example with path indications:

      $CADENAS_DATA/pool/inventor

      or when assigning a prefix:

      CNS_

    2. ?"Text"

    The best option is to leave the current form.

  • Numbers

    Individual number values are usually stated "purely".

    For example value ranges (0/1)

  • Text and numbers mixed

    default_dec_places=8

    For changes, simply leave the given form.

  • Attributes

    Attributes may be applied in different ways:

    1. Single constant "pure"

      NB
      

      [Note] Note

      This kind of displaying variables is only available in Attribute Mapping. You may change the default value to any other constant.

    2. Constants embedded in code

      <ATTR(NB)>

      [Note] Note

      You may change the red marked constants. Leave the rest of the display text.

    3. If there are several constants indicated in an attribute, especially when text and attributes are mixed, the used form is this:

      <ATTR(NN)> - <ATTR(NT)>

      [Note] Note

      You may change the red marked constants or the text outside of the angle brackets. Leave the rest of the display text.

[Note] Note

Which constants are generally available can be found under Section 7.1, “Constants, Functions, Operators, mathematical expressions ”.

[Note] Note

Changes which go further than the above described please perform in the expanded mode (see Section 2.1.1.3, “Mode: "Simple" or "Expanded"”) or under PARTadmin -> Category -> Configuration files (see Section 2.1.2, “User interface for Category "Configuration files" ”).
