3.3.12.4.3. Attribute mapping

So that the mapping works, you must undertake more steps.

  1. Define attributes for transfer to CAD/PDM (These are not the default attributes, but those defined explicitly in block "CadDocumentAttributes".)

    [Note] Note

    With Windchill in the standard PARTsolutions configuration there is only the option to insert the attributes via the CAD document and not via a direct mapping mechanism.

    PARTsolutions -> CAD-Dokument (Designated) -> ProE/Creo -> Windchill

    Windchill can only read attributes from the CAD document that are identified with "Designated".

    Thus the value "Designated" is not set in the Windchill-PDMLink configuration file ifproepdmlink.cfg, but in the ProE configuration fileifproewildfire.cfg.

    Do the following:

    1. Open the configuration file $CADENAS_SETUP/ifproewildfire.cfg.

    2. In block [CadDocumentAttributes] enter the desired attributes, which you want to export via the CAD system to PDMLink.

      Example:

      [CadDocumentAttributes]
NB=NB
NB.custom=DESIGNATED
NT=NT
NT.custom=DESIGNATED
LINA=LINA
LINA.custom=DESIGNATED
NN=NN
NN.custom=DESIGNATED
ERP_PDM_NUMBER=ERP_PDM_NUMBER
ERP_PDM_NUMBER.custom=DESIGNATED
MAT_NAME=MAT_NAME
MAT_NAME.custom=DESIGNATED

  2. Apply attributes on Windchill server:

    1. Apply new organizational point:

      First you need to apply a new organisation point.

      In this example:

      de.cadenas.Mapping

    2. Apply new attribute

      Now apply the desired attributes on the Windchill server.

      You must be registered as Administrator at the Windchill-PDM.

      Now, in the menu under Site -> Utilities click on Type and Attribute Manager.

      Select the Attribute Definition Manager tab and apply a new attribute.

      Adjust the attribute parameter as desired.

    3. Switch into the Type Manager tab and click under EPM Document -> Workgroup Manager CAD Document onto the button for checking out .

      Now click on Edit .

      On the right side select the Template tab.

      Mark under Name Attribute Root.

      Click on Add attribute.

      -> The Select attributedialog opens.

      Click on Select and then Save.

      Once all desired attributes have been selected, this type must be checked in again.

  3. Attribute in Windchill PDMLink

    After export from the PARTdataManager,check whether the attributes were properly transferred to Windchill PDMLink:
