  • Common information on attribute mapping

    Custom attributes supported by this CAD are: (you may combine attributes separated by comma)

    • DESIGNATED -> designated attribute for PDM

    • READONLY -> attribute is readonly

    • BOOLEAN -> boolean value

    • INTEGER ->Integer

    • DOUBLE -> Decimal digit

    • STRING -> string value

The most important information is found in the single blocks and keys and the configuration file itself.

In the following you can find more comprehensive information on some blocks and keys.

Syntax and essential concepts are found under Section 2.2, “CAD encompassing information ”.

[Note]Note

Changes at configuration files should only be performed by experienced users or CADENAS Consultants.
