Attribute mapping of Calculated assosiation to WTpart

[JM_12529808]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: Mapping of attributes from CAD drawing (Assosiation: Calculated)

Description:

We have different parameters/attributes defined in the CAD and in the Drawing - The attributes are mapped to the WTpart, but are only synced from the CAD part (as it is associated as Owner). Association: Calculated does not show up on any of the lists of mapping options. 

Is it possible to set that the attributes should be mapped from a "Calculated"?

Is there another workaround (besides putting all the attributes/parameters in the CAD)?

You can create an alias attribute to map information from the CAD Drawing.

You have to just understand the links between WTPart to CAD model and from  CAD model to reference drawing. 

It is also not ideal, because there can be more iterations that shows the value. 

try to find how to create a mapping for alias on a Knowledge base. . WTP to CADModel from CADModel to CADDrawing

Hi PetrH

Thank you for responding. 

Do I understand correctly that you suggest to have an attribute on the CAD part that is an Alias to a attribute on the Drawing? 

I don't think that is possible in the implementation we currently have, as the CAD part and Drawing uses the same Subtype of EPM Document. If I were to implement your solution, it would require using two different subtypes; is that correctly understood?

I know we technically could keep all the attributes / parameters in the CAD and the use them on the drawing, but we would prefer not to.

Hi @JM_12529808 

No, you can use same type. 

There is a link reference that is used to reference CAD Model to CAD Drawing. 

Alias attribute can handle it

Also I suggest to create the alias on the WTPart.

You just have to handle the mapping from the WTP to the CADModel then by reference to the Drawing.
