Relationship Attribute Support

Transformation is the only supported relationship attribute used for mapping the relationship attributes between the CAD Tool and 3DEXPERIENCE.

The following attributes are used for mapping the relationship attributes between the CAD Tool and .

  • MCADInteg-CADToMxRelAttribMapping: (multiline string)

This is for CAD to 3DEXPERIENCE relationship attribute mapping. Use this mapping for attribute synchronization during check-in. The syntax of the attribute is:

CAD-Relationship-Type,CAD-Relationship-Attribute|Matrix-Relationship-Type,Matrix-Relationship-Attribute

Example:

CADSubcomponent,relativeXform|CAD SubComponent,Spatial Location

Map the attribute relativeXform from CAD Relationship CADSubcomponent to 3DEXPERIENCE Relationship CAD Subcomponent's attribute Spatial Location.

  • MCADInteg-MxToCADRelAttribMapping: (multiline string)

This is for 3DEXPERIENCE to CAD relationship attribute mapping. Use this attribute for synchronization during checkout. The syntax of the attribute is:

Matrix-Relationship-Type, 
Matrix-Relationship-Attribute|CAD-Relationship-Type, 
CAD-Relationship-Attribute

Example:

CAD SubComponent,Spatial Location|CADSubcomponent,relativeXform

Map the attribute Spatial Location on the CAD SubComponent relationship to the SOLIDWORKS relationship CADSubcomponent and its attribute relativeXform.

relativeXform is a special name of the CAD attribute, which represents the relative transformation of a component with respect to its immediate parent assembly. Do not change this name because it is used by X-CAD Design Management. The mapped 3DEXPERIENCE attribute can be any attribute in Database, defined on the relationship CAD SubComponent. This is true for relationship attributes from the CAD side, in the above relationship attribute mappings from and to 3DEXPERIENCE.

If the MCADInteg-CopyRelAttribOnCheckin and MCADInteg-CopyRelAttribOnCheckout settings in the Local Configuration Object are set to TRUE, they transfer these relationship attributes to and from 3DEXPERIENCE, respectively.
