Maps the file name to the family object name and the configuration name along with the family name to the instance object name.

Possible Values

AlwaysFromFile - Always uses the file name as the family object name and the configuration name (plus family name) as the instance object name. When using this option, set IEF-EnforceInstanceNameUniqueness to FALSE.

AlwaysNumber - Always generates auto-numbers for family and instance object names. This value is the default and requires that IEF-EnforceInstanceNameUniqueness is set to its default value, TRUE.

AlwaysFromFileExceptInstances- The Families and Drawings objects will be named as the name of the file. The configurations will be assigned a unique auto generated number as their name.

MCADInteg-FeatureJPOMapping

Used by Connector for SOLIDWORKS to map the links in to the Connector for SOLIDWORKS protocol handler. The protocol handler opens the relevant X-CAD Design Management clicked links in the appropriate Connector for SOLIDWORKS function.

Value

Select OpenFromWeb|DSCOpenFromWebLink

MCADInteg-VirtualComponentSupport

Determines if Connector for SOLIDWORKS includes or ignores SOLIDWORKS internal components.

Possible Values

TRUE - The system ignores SOLIDWORKS internal components by omitting them at parent assembly check in, in references dialog boxes, and in the SOLIDWORKS add-in task pane tree.

FALSE - The system includes SOLIDWORKS internal components at parent assembly check in, in references dialog boxes, and in the SOLIDWORKS add-in task pane tree. The default is FALSE

To change the default to TRUE, use this MQL command:

modify bus SolidWorksInteg-GlobalConfig SWNewArch TEAM "MCADInteg-VirtualComponentSupport" TRUE;

MCADInteg-KeepLocalReferencesOnCheckout

Determines if checkout overwrites existing local copies with the latest version.

Possible Values

FALSE - Structure referenced by a Related Drawing is not used for Checkin Operation. The default is FALSE

Note: For this attribute to work Related Documents should be set to Related Drawing.

MCADInteg-MxToCADAttribMapping

Map 3DEXPERIENCE-to-CAD attributes for attribute synchronization during checkout (attributes must exist). The user can choose whether or not to perform the attribute sync.

Syntax

ENOVIA-Type,$$revision$$|CAD-Type,CAD-Attribute

ENOVIA-Type,$$major_revision$$|CAD-Type,CAD-Attribute

$$revision$$, maps the value of iteration from the ENOVIA object to the CAD file.

$$major_revision$$, maps the value of revision from the ENOVIA object to the CAD file.

For more information, see Installation and Setup | Administrate | Social and Collaborative | Global Design Management | X-CAD Design Management - Installation and Administration | Configuring and Setting Preferences | Entering GCO Attribute Values

Examples

SW Drawing,$$revision$$|drawing,MyIteration

SW Drawing,$$major_revision$$|drawing,MyRevision

IEF-TypeTemplateMapping

Maps CAD types to the template types for the Start Design function.

Syntax

CADType|TEMPLATE_TYPE

Examples

componentFamily|SW Component Family Template

assemblyFamily|SW Assembly Family Template

drawing|SW Drawing Template

IEF-EnforceInstanceNameUniqueness

Determines whether or not the family names are appended with parentheses. Use the function when using the attribute MCADInteg-NamingStrategy.

Possible Values

FALSE - Family name is appended with parentheses.

TRUE - Family name is not appended. Use this attribute with auto-numbering. TRUE is the default.

IEF-AutoNameSeries

Maps the CAD type to the series name for auto-naming. Auto-naming is a feature that users can select from the Options dialog box. The feature has the auto-generator create names when users save new files or when they create files with new names using SOLIDWORKS' Save As. The Options dialog box is available to users from the 3DEXPERIENCE tab in the SOLIDWORKS view.

By default, instance auto-naming uses the generator for type_CADModel, as shown below:

Syntax

CAD_Type|SeriesName

Examples for type_CADModel

type_CADModel|A Size

type_CADDRAWING|B Size

To auto-name component and assembly instances uniquely, you can specify an additional auto-number generator for each type of instance.

Examples for SOLIDWORKS Component and Assembly Instances

type_SWComponentInstance|X Size

type_SWAssemblyInstance|Y Size

IEF-Pref-MCADInteg-DefaultTypePolicySettings

Defines the mapping between the Component Type and the Design Policy. This mapping shows default values for new objects in the policy columns for the selected Component Type in the Check-in page.

See Behavior Changes - ReadOnly Attribute for details of the impact of this attribute.

IEF-SetDefaultFamilyObjectRevisionMode

Determines whether X-CAD Design Management supports together or individual mode of Family Towers revisioning.

Ensure that the attribute IEF-SetDefaultFamilyObjectRevisionMode is present in the GCO and set to together.

Values

individual - Not supported in Connector for SOLIDWORKS.

together - Ensures that whenever a family structure is revised, all items of the family are structured and revised at the same time.

Important: Connector for SOLIDWORKS only supports together.

IEF-CreateVersionObjects

Defines whether or not new version objects can be created for a Revision.

Values

TRUE - More than one iteration object can be created in any revision stream.

FALSE - Not supported in Connector for SOLIDWORKS.

Important: Connector for SOLIDWORKS only supports TRUE.

SLW-CheckInPermitIncomplete

Permits or denies check-in of an assembly without check-in of the assemblies' sub-components.

Values

TRUE - Users can choose whether or not to include a referenced component when checking in assemblies and subassemblies. TRUE is the default.

FALSE- Users are required to check in the referenced parts and subassemblies when checking in an assembly or subassembly.

This setting controls whether or not users will be allowed to de-select children for check-in when the parent is being checked-in. This setting has no effect on initial check-in. When an assembly is checked in for the first time, users cannot deselect children selected for check-in.

SLW-CheckInBlockRemoteReferences

Permits or denies check-in of assemblies that reference files outside of the Connector for SOLIDWORKS view.

Values

TRUE - When checking-in an assembly with a reference outside the Connector for SOLIDWORKS view, users are prevented from completing the check-in by error on the referenced file. TRUE is the default.

FALSE - When checking in an assembly with a reference outside the Connector for SOLIDWORKS view, users see a warning that the file is outside the view. However, they can check-in the assembly.

SLW-CheckoutPermitPartialGet

Permits or prevents users from getting a file locally with the Check-out or Get commands when referenced components exist in the local view in a different version than would be retrieved by the system.

Values

TRUE - Users can choose whether or not to retrieve a reference file when the file exists locally. Retrieving the reference file replaces the local file with the retrieved file. TRUE is the default.

FALSE - Users must replace each referenced files with the correct version when retrieving the file's assembly or subassembly.

SLW-ConfigurationFilter

Identifies the configurations for which Connector for SOLIDWORKS should create instance objects during check-in.

Syntax

extension|exclude pattern|include pattern

Values

The value is a multi-line string, where you can identify exclude and include patterns for one file extension on each line.

The include pattern overrides the exclude pattern.

You can:

• Use a wildcard pattern for the file extension.
• Add multiple exclude and include patterns for an extension by separating the values with commas.
• Leave include pattern empty to include all configurations except the excluded pattern.

Notes:

• You cannot exclude all configurations. If you specify a pattern that excludes all configurations, Connector for SOLIDWORKS disregards the pattern and includes all configurations. If an exclude pattern is specified and include pattern is specified as * then, the exclude pattern is overridden and all configurations are included.
• You can access the configuration instances, that were saved before the SLW-ConfigurationFilter change and that are excluded during the SLW-ConfigurationFilter modifications.

Examples

Example	Description
SLDPRT|*|Standard*	In this example, for parts, all configurations except those that start with "Standard" are excluded.
SLDASM|Default|*	In this example, for assemblies, all configurations except the Default configuration are included.
SLDASM|Default,Test*|*	In this example, for assemblies, all configurations except the Default configuration and those that start with "Test" are included.
*|*|Main*	In this example, for all file types, all configurations except those that start with "Main" are excluded.
