Viewing Attributes of a Design

You can view the attributes of a design from the CAD Attributes column in the 3DEXPERIENCE Save dialog box. You can also view the attributes of a design using the CAD Attributes dialog box even for designs that cannot be selected in the Save dialog box.

  1. Select the Show CAD Attributes check box to add the CAD Attributes column to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform Save dialog box.

    The CAD Attributes column is displayed even if the view is changed. The CAD Attributes column is removed from the Save dialog box only when Show CAD Attributes check box is cleared.

  2. Click Show for any design in CAD Attributes column to view the CAD Attributes dialog box.

    You can also open the CAD Attributes dialog box for designs that cannot be selected in the Save dialog box.

    The CAD Attributes dialog box displays the following attributes specified for the design in the System or the Custom tab:
    • Normal Attributes: Attributes that are not mandatory are displayed.
    • Mandatory Attributes: mandatory, default, and null attributes that are mapped in the GCO by the Administrator are displayed in the System or Custom tab. If the attribute is mapped as mandatory, then the values entered in the GCO are displayed. If the attribute is mapped as default, then the value specified by you is displayed. If values are not specified by you, then the value specified in the GCO is displayed. If the attribute is mapped as null, then the value specified by you is displayed.

    Attributes that are Solid Edge specific but not system attributes are displayed under the Custom tab.

    Mandatory attributes are displayed in the Mandatory area in System and Custom tabs.
    Notes:
    • The tabs displayed in the CAD Attributes dialog box depend on the attribute mappings. Tabs are not displayed for types that are not mapped.
    • The attributes displayed in the CAD Attributes dialog box cannot be edited.
    • An error message is displayed if the attributes are not mapped for the design.
    • The CAD Attributes dialog is displayed for CAD objects of a certain type, if attribute mapping from CAD to ENOVIA is defined in GCO for that CAD type. If no attributes are defined on the CAD file and no mandatory or default attribute values are defined in the GCO, then the CAD Attributes dialog box will not display any value for this attribute.
    • The attributes for ENOVIA custom Type or OOTB type are displayed in the Save dialog box if some custom types are present in ENOVIA for some CAD types and are also added to the GCO by your administrator. In case a certain attribute is mapped only for OOTB type in the GCO and the object being Saved to ENOVIA is of custom type, then this particular attribute is not displayed in the Save dialog box.
