Adding a New Type in X-CAD Design Management

This topic shows you how to add a new type in X-CAD Design Management.

Use the following steps to add a new type, for example, SW Engine Assembly, in X-CAD Design Management

  1. Define SW Engine Assembly and related types.

    SW Engine Assembly is a major type. Derive it from "MCAD Assembly".

  2. Connect these related types using property:

    Run mql and execute following statements:

    modify type "SW Engine Assembly" add property RelatedType to type "SW Engine Assembly";

  3. Add the new types to governing policies:

    "Engine Major Policy" governs the major type . "Engine Minor Policy" governs the minor type

    Define these two policies ensuring that minor policy does not have sequence)

    In "Engine Major Policy", add "SW Engine Assembly" to the governed types. Add formats asm and image (for preview).

    To "Engine Minor Policy", add "SW Engine Assembly" to the governed types. Add formats asm and image (for preview).

    Note that the new types can either be added to the existing policies being used, or new policies can be defined to govern these types.

  4. Add them in MCADInteg-TypeFormatMapping:

    assembly|SW Engine Assembly,asm

  5. Add it in MCADInteg-BusTypemapping:

    assembly|SW Assembly,SW Engine Assembly

  6. Add it in MCADInteg-TypePolicyMapping:

    SW Engine Assembly|Engine Major Policy

    SW Engine Assembly|Engine Minor Policy
