Adding System Attributes

This sections shows you how to add sysytem attributes.

If system (in case of ENOVIA) or summary (in case of SolidEdge) attributes are used, they need to be enveloped by "$$" for correct identification. For example,

$$Description$$, $$Author$$

Following table explains the supported system attributes in ENOVIA for to & from transfer:

Direction

Description

Owner

Type

Name

Revision

To ENOVIA

Use the following steps to add a Summary attribute, for example, Description in SolidEdge and mapping it to Description in ENOVIA.

  1. Open a part in SolidEdge 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 "SE Component" .
  5. For supporting SolidEdge to ENOVIA attribute transfer, map the Description attribute in "MCADInteg-CADToMxAttribMapping" attribute of Global Config Object. In this case the mapping will be:

    component,$$Comments$$|SE Component,$$Description$$

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

    SE Component,$$Description$$|component,$$Comments$$

    User must select the Copy Attribute option in Checkin or Checkout page. An user can also synchronize the attribute using Synch Attribute option.
