Business Rule: CATRule to Customize Manufacturing Fastener Parameters from PLM Attributes

General Information

The DELGetManufFastenerAttributes.CATRule is located in ..\resources\knowledge\scripts and can be invoked when creating a manufacturing fastener using Synchronize Data with Planning from the Setup section of the action bar.

This business rule is executed by default when creating a manufacturing fastener using the command Synchronize Data with Planning. If this rule is undefined, the CATRule DELPLMMapAttributesForMFTCreation.CATRule is executed. For more information, see Business Rule: CATRule to Propagate Manufacturing Fastener Attributes From Planning.

Input Objects

You can use the attributes of the design fastener references and instances or their respective implementing process references and instances for the implementation. Input objects must be of the following types:

FastenerOccurrence: Fastener product occurrence.
ProcessOccurrence: Manufacturing item process occurrence.
OperationOccurrence: Planning operation occurrence.

Context Object Parameters


Parameter Name	Type	Read/Write
`Params_Name`	`List`	Write
`Params_Type`	`List`	Write
`Params_Value`	`List`	Write
`Params_Editability`	`List`	Write

Additional Information

Use the following names to set the corresponding default manufacturing fastener attributes:


Name	Attribute
RefName	Reference name
Diameter	Diameter
Length	Length
StackDepthMin	Minimum stack length
StackDepthMax	Maximum stack length
Color	Color
Name	Manufacturing fastener name
