Adding Configuration Specific Attributes

This section shows you how to add configuration specific attributes.

This task shows you how to:

Adding Configuration

In case of assembly families, that is, assembly containing members the System and Custom Attributes rather than being file specific, are member specific.

This behavior has been extended to the integration.

To support this appropriate mapping in the GCO needs to de done. This will be same as discussed in System and Custom Attributes Section.

Solid Edge Versions V15 and above

Lets take the case of adding a Summary attribute called "Comments" in Solid Edge and mapping it in ENOVIA. The file here is an Assembly Family type.

Solid Edge side:

  1. Open a assembly family in Solid Edge and click File > Properties > Summary.
  2. Assign the value say "Design Part" in the text box provided against the attribute Comments.

    ENOVIA side:

  3. Define in ENOVIA an attribute called "Description" (string type). (Note: Name can be different)
  4. Add this attribute to the relevant ENOVIA types. In this case say "SE Assembly Instance".
  5. For supporting SolidEdge to ENOVIA attribute transfer, map this Material attribute in "MCADInteg-CADToMxAttribMapping" attribute of Global Config Object. In this case the mapping will be:

    assemblyInstance,,$$Comments$$|SE Assembly Instance,$$Description$$

  6. For supporting ENOVIA to SolidEdge attribute transfer, map Material attribute in "MCADInteg-MxToCADAttribMapping" attribute of current Global Config Object. In this case the mapping will be:

    SE Assembly Instance, $$Description$$| assemblyInstance,$$Comments$$

    Similarly one can do mapping for the Custom Attributes.

    Mapping for Document Number , Revision Number and Project Name specific to configuration remains same as discussed above.
