Defining Group IDs for Enforcing Related Object Check-ins

You can assign a group of CAD objects to the same Group ID so that they are always checked in at the same time.

For more information, see Group ID.

To set the Group ID, you update the ECADInteg_GroupId attribute for the ECADInteg-GlobalConfig object. The syntax for the value of this attribute is <CADTYPE>|<GroupID> and the GroupId must be an integer value.

  1. Open an MQL window.
  2. To set the Group ID, execute these commands: 

    set context user creator;
modify businessobject "ECADInteg-GlobalConfig" CadenceAllegroGlobal TEAM 
     "ECADInteg_GroupId" <CADTYPE1>|<GROUPID0> <CADTYPE2>|<GROUPID0> <CADTYPE3>|<GROUPID0>;

    Where <CADTYPE1>, <CADTYPE1>, and <CADTYPE1> and the object names, and <GROUPID0> is the ID they will share. For example:

    modify businessobject "ECADInteg-GlobalConfig" CadenceAllegroGlobal TEAM 
     "ECADInteg_GroupId" PCBSchematicProject|0 PCBVariant|0;
