Hello,

 

is there a way to set an imported attribute from a CATPART for example as designated?

 

imagine I have "MATERIAL" parameter in my third part CAD model. I import it and convert to a PRT file, and I really would like that this MATERIAL attribute comes designated to be able to check in directly in Windchill!

well I reply myself:

I used ModelCHECK to do that because I did not found another simple/better way; just add this commands in the .MCS file:

PRT_PARAMETER MATERIAL_NOTE NONE EQ PDM

ASM_PARAMETER MATERIAL_NOTE NONE EQ PDM

 

be sure in the config_init.mc I have this config

# Enable/Disable ModelUPDATE parameter designated
DESIGNATE_MU_STAMP  YN    Y

# Check models in assemblies regardless of whether they have changed since
# being retrieved or not
CHECK_ALL_MODELS YN             Y

 

and run it from the top assembly 😎
