5.12.15.4. Map class systems: Example

[Note]Note

The following simple example shows the basic approach for the mapping of class systems.

The class system eClass 5.1 is mapped onto the own class system "myclassification2". Just as well two own class systems could be mapped onto each other or eClass 5.1 onto eClass 8.0.

The mapping is then assigned to the directory under standard catalog/DIN/nuts as an example. The assignment could just as easily be made to components in your own parts catalog. (You can use the Levenshtein algorithm to set the mapping using various parameters)

  1. PARTproject -> Extras menu -> Class systems: Edit. [Class systems: edit...]..:

    Create your own class system. See Section 5.12.14, “Create or edit your own class system. In the example in hand only one class and two subclasses have been created.

  2. Update the index!

    PARTadmin -> Category index management [Index administration]

    1. Under Catalogs -> Standard -> DIN -> Nuts: Context menu command Update

    2. Your classification: Add to index context menu command

    3. Your classification: Generate index for full text search [Create full-text search index]

    Detailed information on this can be found under Section 1.3.3.6, “ Index administration ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual .

  3. PARTproject -> Extras menu -> Additional modules -> Map class systems [Map class systems...]..

    Open the menu for eClass5.1 and double-click on the class system to be mapped (your class system), or click on Create mapping.... [Create mapping...] in the context menu.

    -> The Mapping class systems [Map class systems] dialog box opens.

  4. Carry out the mapping using the Levenshtein algorithm and the settings Attribute: Name of class [Name of the class] and Attribute: Name of feature [Name of the class variable].

  5. Click on Load mapping in the context menu of your class system.

  6. On the directory, where you want to assign projects to your own (mapped) classification, call up the context menu.

    Under Automation, click on the Add projects to classification command.

    -> The Set classification dialog box opens.

  7. Select your own classification system in the list field under Classification (here in the illustration "myclassification").

    Activate the checkbox under Other classification and select the class to which you have previously created a mapping in the list field (here in the illustration "eClass 5.0 SP1").

    Use Next to switch to the next dialog page and activate the Transfer features from class [Take attributes from class] option and select the corresponding class here too (here in the illustration again "eClass 5.0 SP1").

    Click on Start.

    -> The process is logged in the Classify projects dialog box.

  8. Update the index!

    PARTadmin -> Category index management [Index administration]

    1. Under Catalogs -> Standard -> DIN -> Nuts: Context menu command Display index -> Update

    2. Your classification: Context menu command Display index -> Refresh [Update]

    3. Your classification: Context menu command Generate index for full text search [Create full-text search index]

  9. Start PARTdataManager, select the Classes tab and select your classification. The automatically assigned components are displayed.
