Native Derived Output Support

By default, the Integration supports the checkin of the following native derived outputs for different CAD types:

Component and Assembly:

DXF

ACIS

STL

PDF

Connector for AutoCAD uses the native CAD Tool APIs to generate these files for the selected CAD model during checkin based on user preferences. The location of the files generated is same as the drawing file.

To add support for derived outputs the Connector for AutoCAD Server Installer makes the following changes:

• Each derived output type will be defined with a type-name and added to the MCADInteg-BusTypeMapping attribute in GCO as following:

Derived Output Type	GCO Mapping "MCADInteg-BusTypeMapping"
PREVIEW as JPG	image_jpg|Derived Output
DXF	dxf|Derived Output
ACIS	acis|Derived Output
STL	stl|Derived Output
DWF	dwf|Derived Output
PDF	pdf|Derived Output

• The GCO attributes MCADInteg-TypeClassMapping will be updated as displayed in the AutoCADInteg-GlobalConfig Object section.

The derived output types need to be supported depending on the CAD type. The GCO attribute MCADInteg-TypeDerivedOutputMapping will be also be updated as explained in the AutoCADInteg-GlobalConfig Object section.

• Depending on the derived output type the App schema installation will define and add formats as follows:

Derived Output Type	Format
image_jpg	Image
Dxf	DXF
Acis	ACIS
Dwf	DWF
Stl	STL
Pdf	PDF

The image_jpg uses the Image format that is installed by Collaborative Business Process Services.

• The above listed formats are added to the Allowed Formats of the following policies:
• Derived Output Policy
• The GCO attribute MCADInteg-TypeFormatMapping is updated as explained in the AutoCADInteg-GlobalConfig Object section.
