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.
You can import a catalog structure directly from a CSV file.
Of course the CSV file may contain any further columns with geometry or factual information.
Geometries, preview images and technical views can be added in further working steps. On this see Section 3.2.5.3, “ Edit documents in product ”. If the table contains the PDM document number (in the above example "PDM_ID"), the PDM documents can be automatically accessed and respective processes be triggered via scripting solutions.
Furthermore documents (e.g. Word, Excel, PDF, text files) can be linked subsequently. These will be displayed as green document columns in PARTdataManager after export.
In the following importing a CSV catalog is described:
Calling happens via Workspace -> Catalogs -> Import catalog -> Import from CSV.
Via search button ... select the desired CSV file and determine the file type.
Determine the separator and optionally the text quotation symbol.
Define whether column names are stored in the first line of the CSV file.
Optionally, determine a column which contains the path to a Preview image.

-> Furthermore the catalog is displayed on the left side now. Catalog name is the name of the CSV file. You can change the name when selecting the catalog.
Open the catalog and select Products.
-> Now you can see all imported products.
Further information on adding geometries, preview images and technical previews can be found under Section 3.2.5.3, “ Edit documents in product ”.
