Component Family Resources

A resource is a PLM object (for example, a catalog or a business rule) or another type of file (for example, a bitmap or a spreadsheet). In Data Setup, resources are grouped in resource sets. A resource set is a PLM object that implements a single resource table.

Logical Name Resource Type Mandatory Description
ActionsBefore EKL Action Yes Lets you run an action before updating the component family's model. The parametric modifications done by the parametric table have not been performed at that time. Parameters have been modified to the proper value, parametric table has been deleted, but no update has been performed.
ActionsAfter EKL Action Yes Lets you run an action after updating the component family's model. If an action is associated and executed, another update is triggered on the component family's item to take the action execution into account.

Notes:
  • An EKL action is expected. When an action is set in Data Setup and the resource table is associated with the family's collaborative space, it is executed on every duplicated representation (shape) in the structure of a component family.
  • Such EKL actions allow you to launch operations on the shape or the representation (like for example, the modification of parameters). When the generation starts, if such an action exists, it is automatically launched.
  • Such actions should have only one argument. This argument must be called rep and be of PLMRepReference type.
