4.6.1.22. Export format QR Code

As of v9.05 the QR Code (Quick Response) is available as export format.

Troublesome typing of links and information is no longer required.

The feature can be applied in print catalogs. Thus CAD models can be downloaded from the print catalog in one single step.

In order for a single project to export the QR Code do the following:

Call up: Export menu -> Export in file -> Others -> QR Code

Export format: QR Code

Export format: QR Code

Settings:

Information used in the Base link, Link options and Text input fields are embedded in the code. Part parameters like $NN., $NT., $NB., $ALL_VISCOL. (all visible parameters), $ALL_COL. (all parameters), $ProjectPath. (project path) can be used.

There are two basic settings:

  • PARTcommunity link:

    If PARTcommunity link is selected, then the base link, the project path and the link options are automatically combined.

    Examples:

    • Link PARTcommunity project

      Entry under "Base link":

      http://b2b.partcommunity.com?info=

      No entry under "Link options":

    • Link PARTcommunity project and row

      Entry under "Base link":

      http://b2b.partcommunity.com?info=

      Entry under "Link options":

      &varset={$ALL_VISCOL.}

  • Text:

    If Text is selected, then you can create any combination. This may be links or other texts, which shall be stored in QR.

    Example:

    Link to own supplier web page with order number BNR (from table)

    http://www.my_company.de/showproject.asp?NR=$BNR.
