Upgrade of CATDrwStandard Files to the Current XML Standard Files
You can upgrade CATDrwStandard files to the current XML standard files.
Up to and including V5R8, the standard file defining standard XXX was a file named
XXX.CATDrwStandard, located in install_root/reffiles/Drafting
.
In V5R9, the format of the standard file was changed to XML. The standard file
defining standard XXX is now a file named XXX.xml, located in
install_root/resources/standard/drafting
.
If you have configured or defined a CATDrwStandard file, and want to reuse this configuration in the current release, you need to convert your CATDrwStandard file into an XML file. There are 2 ways of doing this:
Manual Upgrade
If the degree of configuration of the standard file is small, you can start from one of the four predefined standard files (ISO, ANSI-ASME, or JIS), and modify it using the standards editor (). You need to modify the parameter values, and add the styles that you had defined in the CATDrwStandard file.
Automatic Upgrade
A batch utility is provided to automatically generate the XXX.xml file starting from a XXX.CATDrwStandard file. All the configuration done on the CATDrwStandard file is reproduced in the XML file, and all styles defined in the CATDrwStandard file are added.
The utility also adds the new standard parameters to the XML file (with default values), and the new predefined styles.
