3.3.1.2.4. Attribute mapping for Windchill

In order for the mapping between Creo and Windchill to work, several steps have to be made.

Specify attributes for the transfer to CAD/PDM (these are not the default attributes, but the ones explicitly specified in the block [CadDocumentAttributes] )

[Note]Note

With Windchill, in the standard PARTsolutions configuration, there is only the option to insert the attributes via the CAD document and not via a direct mapping mechanism.

PARTsolutions -> CAD-Document (Designated) -> Creo -> Windchill

Windchill can only read attributes from the CAD document that are identified with "Designated".

Thus the value "Designated" is not set in the Windchill-PDMLink configuration file ifproepdmlink.cfg, but in the Creo configuration file ifproewildfire.cfg.

Do the following:

  1. Open the configuration file $CADENAS_SETUP/ifproewildfire.cfg.

  2. In block [CadDocumentAttributes], enter the desired attributes, which you want to export via CAD system to PDMLink.

  3. For each attribute to be transferred to Windchill, enter the additional line "<ATTRIBUTENAME>.custom=DESIGNATED".

    [Note]Note

    Precondition is that the attribute name in Windchill is exactly the same.

    Example:

    [CadDocumentAttributes]
NB=NB
NB.custom=DESIGNATED
NT=NT
NT.custom=DESIGNATED
LINA=LINA
LINA.custom=DESIGNATED
NN=NN
NN.custom=DESIGNATED
ERP_PDM_NUMBER=ERP_PDM_NUMBER
ERP_PDM_NUMBER.custom=DESIGNATED
MAT_NAME=MAT_NAME
MAT_NAME.custom=DESIGNATED
