Part Subtype

Overview

This resource file is a discrete list of all the subtypes of parts.

In Data Setup, this table must be assigned to:

when using file-based tables, the Part Subtype item in the resource table of Piping/Tubing Discipline Resources with a Standard criteria.
when using engineering specification objects, the Part Subtype item in the resource table of Piping/Tubing Specification Resources with a Standard criteria.

Table Description

All the attribute values must be of the type string.

File-Based Table

Here is a typical Part Subtype file-based table:


PartSubType	PLMType	IconName
Cap	Piping_Cap	Icon_Piping_Cap.png
Coupling	Piping_Coupling	-
Cross	Piping_Cross	-
Elbow	Piping_Elbow	Icon_Piping_Elbow.png
Flange	Piping_Flange	Icon_Piping_Flange.png
Gasket	Piping_Gasket	-
Olet	Piping_Olet	-
Reducer	Piping_Reducer	-
Tee	Piping_Tee	Icon_Piping_Tee.png
Union	Piping_Union	_
Valve	Piping_Valve	_
Instrument	Piping_Instrument	_
Miscellaneous	Piping_Miscellaneous	_

Engineering Specification Table

This table associates behavior classes to some customer types. The list of customer types is the one shown in the Part Placement command and also used in Piping Parts Filters as returned part types. Then you must create this table and add it to the Piping/Tubing Specification Resources before creating Piping Parts Filters.

A typical Part Subtype Engineering Specification table is shown below:


Part Subtype	Behavior Class	Icon Name
Cap	Piping_Cap	Icon_Piping_Cap.png
Coupling	Piping_Coupling	-
Cross	Piping_Cross	-
Elbow	Piping_Elbow	Icon_Piping_Elbow.png
Flange	Piping_Flange	Icon_Piping_Flange.png
Gasket	Piping_Gasket	-
Olet	Piping_Olet	-
Reducer	Piping_Reducer	-
Tee	Piping_Tee	Icon_Piping_Tee.png
Union	Piping_Union	_
Valve	Piping_Valve	_
Instrument	Piping_Instrument	_
Miscellaneous	Piping_Miscellaneous	_

For more information about behavior classes, see Unified Typing Reference Dictionary Guide: Piping and Tubing Physical Types.

Note: If the types are customized, you can put the internal name of your type in the Behavior Class column.

The columns definitions are as follow:


Column Name	Column Type	Link to Table	Link to Column	Comment
Behavior Class	String	-	-	Optional
Part Subtype	String	-	-	Mandatory
Icon Name	String	-	-	Optional

The table has the following attribute:

Standard

Note: The Icon Name column allows you to display an icon in the Part Subtypes dialog box when you place a part using the Define part sub type or select a new part command. To display an icon in the Part Subtypes dialog box, you need to:

Create an Engineering Document.
Attach the image file to this Engineering Document. The image files supported are TIFF, BMP, JPEG, PNG, RGB, and PICTURE.
Save the Engineering Document.
Add the name of the Engineering Document in the Icon Name column of the Part Subtype table.

For more information about Engineering Documents, see Collaborative Lifecycle User's Guide: Document Management: Working with Engineering Documents.

If no icon name exists, then the icon of the behavior class is taken into account. If there is no icon for the behavior class, then no icon is displayed in the Part Subtype dialog box.
