Connector for AutoCAD supports checkin of inserted images (referenced images) and linked OLE documents inside an AutoCAD drawing file. Checkin of inserted document using the Data Link command is not supported. A drawing file may have reference to images or may have links to OLE documents. Connector for AutoCAD scans the drawing file to find out such links and sends the information to the server. These inserted objects are checked in with the ENOVIA type "ACAD Insert". The integration supports all server side operations of these objects such as "Rename", "SaveAs", etc. If an "ACAD Insert" object is renamed and it is checked out along with its parent drawing, the integration modifies all references in the parent drawing to make it point to the renamed "inserted" object. Note that the drawing has an inserted image named "t-03-big.jpg" and an inserted OLE document named "BlockAttribs.doc". The Checkin page lists both of the dependencies with a Design Type of "ACAD Insert". Additionally, the integration will scan only those OLE links that are "linked" objects. OLE objects that are embedded in the AutoCAD drawing are not listed in the Checkin page because the "embedded" objects are part of the AutoCAD drawing file and they do not exist separately. |
