Part Filter Settings

Enable Ignore EDA PartsPartIgnoreEDAPartUsers can ignore parts coming in from the EDA BOM extraction process by defining regular expressions that can be defined to ignore part entries like Testpoints, DNI Parts, and so on, that are required in the CAD Design itself but have no meaningful representation in the PLM side.

  • true
  • false

Default: true

Regular ExpressionPartIgnoreEDAPartRegExpSemicolon-separated regular expressions used when the above attribute is set to true.

For example, this regular expression partNo=^OA.*$;partNo=^TESTP.*$;partNo=^IGNORE.*$ indicates that all parts starting with OA, TESTP and IGNORE will be ignored for BOM creation.

You can use these attributes as part of the regular expression:

Default: partNo=^TP.*$;partNo=^TESTP.*$;partNo=^IGNORE.*$

Part Form Settings

Display NameAttribute NameDescriptionAllowed Values
Part CreationPartCreationFormDefines the form used to create missing parts in 3DEXPERIENCE.Default: ECAD-AD-Part-AutoCreateForm
Part Existence checkPartExistenceCheckDefines the form used to check the existence of the parts in 3DEXPERIENCE. For example, if the users specifies the state of the part and selects Latest Released Revision, the form checks for all assembly parts with the latest revision in the released state.Default: ECAD-Part-FindLatestReleasedOrLatestRev
-PartExistenceCheckKnownRevIf the revision of the Part is known, the existence check is carried out for the exact Type, Name and Revision.Default: PartExistenceCheckKnownRev
EBOM RelationshipPartSpecRelationshipDefines the form used to create a relationship between parts, that is, create an EBOM connection between the component and its parent component.Default: ECAD-BOM-RelationshipForm
