Settings Using Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center

Your administrator can set preferences using the Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center widget to globally deploy the preferences to all users.

This avoids the need to modify local settings at every installation.

For more information about adding custom attributes to Physical Product, refer Adding Custom Attributes to Types

For more information about mapping the user-defined attributes of a physical product to user-defined attributes, and some default attributes in the CAD, refer Configuring Attribute Mapping and Settings for CAD PLM Collaboration Services

The following table lists the attributes your administrator can set using the Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center widget:

Attribute Name Description
Use OrCAD CIS
  • In CIS Mode (CIS license is used), you can save variants to 3DEXPERIENCE and use the CIS database for placing 3DEXPERIENCE components from OrCAD. If the CIS License is used, 3DEXPERIENCE components are added only to the 3DEXPERIENCE.olb library. For example, %APPDATA%\ROAMING\DASSAULTSYSTEMES\UCOC\TENANT\ONPREMISE\OFFLINELIBRARY\3DEXPERIENCE.OLB . Variants can now be configured with Part Manager from OrCAD.
    Note: If the 3DEXPERIENCE components in a schematic are placed in the NON CIS mode, the 3DEXPERIENCE components are added to a category library (e.g. None.olb). To use these components in CIS Mode, select the 3DEXPERIENCE components under the Design Cache from the project in OrCAD and click More .. > Reload from 3DEXPERIENCE. The 3DEXPERIENCE component in the schematic is updated from 3DEXPERIENCE and is linked to the 3DEXPERIENCE.olb library. The 3DEXPERIENCE components from a category library is not deleted.
  • If CIS License is not used, you cannot use the CIS database and cannot save variants to 3DEXPERIENCE.

    Placing or adding 3DEXPERIENCE components from 3DSearch adds the components to a category OLB library. (For example, %APPDATA%\ROAMING\DASSAULTSYSTEMES\UCOC\TENANT\ONPREMISE\OFFLINELIBRARY\None.OLB).

    Note: If you place a 3DEXPERIENCE component that is already placed in a schematic to a new revision and change its category, it causes an error. You can only use a 3DEXPERIENCE component in a single revision and a single category. In case a component that is already placed in a schematic is placed in a new revision and category, select all 3DEXPERIENCE components under the design cache from the project, and use the Replace Cache option in OrCAD to replace all the components to the correct 3DEXPERIENCE component from the category OLB library.

    In the Replace Cache dialog box, select the correct Part Library. In the Action section, select Replace schematic part properties and Preserve Refdes and click OK.
Product Structure: PCB Reference Designator Represents the PCB Reference Designator which is used as the instance name for the bare board during product structure modification. Default Value: BOARD
Save: Package Name Property This option is not supported for Cadence.

Defines the name of the property used for the name of the 3D package. Default Value: PackageReference
Save: Package Description Property This option is not supported for Cadence.

Defines the name of the property used for the description of the 3D Package. Default Value: PackageDescription
Classification: Use electronic library classification Enables the use of IP Classification. If classification is used, the associated libraries are used as the ECAD categories. Default Value: FALSE
Classification: Electronic component library Enter the name of the component library you want to use.
Classification: Automatic Class Assignment Property Defines the name of the property that holds the class assignment definition. For example, ClassificationPath. In the Parameters tab of the Electronic Component Editor dialog box, the hierarchical path for Classification is displayed for components.
Classification: Cadence OrCAD component categories List the available component categories to which components can be saved to. By default, the first entry in the list is displayed as the default category for components in the Save dialog box. You can add categories manually to this list and also change the default.
IPC2581 Parameters Define the IPC2581 parameters used by Cadence Allegro.
Enterprise Item Number Property in OrCAD By default, the value is Enterprise Item Number.
Note: The value of Part Number for this field is not allowed.
Enterprise Item Number Property in Allegro HDL

Configuring the Class Assignment Property

The Class Assignment property defines the hierarchical class path as a path with the path delimiter “/“. The hierarchical class path starts with a class level that is a child of the defined library. If the path delimiter is to be used in a class name, then the path delimiter needs to be escaped. Any character can be specified using the escape character (\). Escaped characters are part of the sub path which precedes/contains them. Leading and trailing blanks are removed from the individual class names.

Examples

This section shows examples of configuring the parameter for “Automatic Class Assignment Property” to import an component from an library in the Electronic Component Editor.

The setting in Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center:

  • Automatic Class Assignment Property=Classification

Example: Class name without a path delimiter

  • Parameter in Component:: Classification=Electronics/Circuit Protection/TVS–Diodes
  • Results in Electronic Component Editor after import: "Electronics”→”Circuit Protection”→”TVS–Diodes"

Example: Class name with path delimiter

  • Parameter in Component: Classification=Electronics/Circuit\/Prot\”ection/TVS–Diodes
  • Results in Electronic Component Editor after import: "Electronics”→”Circuit/Prot”ection”→”TVS–Diodes"
