Hi,

I believe the best way to do this is to write your own handler for creating EPMDocuments and use it in the NMLoader framework. One should be able to find all the necessary information in the dataLoad guide. Besides taking a look at the OOTB handler for WTParts viz- LadPart.java could help too.

For content loading, you can use the exisitng handlers and tags. These are generally used to load content in case of primary and secondary attachments for WTDocuments.

Hi try this it will load your CAD data in Windchill

public static EPMDocument createEPMDocument( String Name, String docFile, EPMDocumentType epmDocumentType, String epmDocFileName,

  WTContainerRef epmContainerReference, Folder epmFolder, String type, String primary )

  {

  LOGGER.info("%%%%% Start Creating the EPMDocument %%%%%  ");

  try {

  EPMAuthoringAppType authoringApplication = EPMAuthoringAppType.toEPMAuthoringAppType(type);

  EPMContextHelper.setApplication(wt.epm.EPMApplicationType.toEPMApplicationType("EPM"));

  EPMDocument EPMDoc = EPMDocument.newEPMDocument(Name, docFile, authoringApplication,

  EPMDocumentType.getEPMDocumentTypeDefault(), epmDocFileName);

  EPMDoc.setContainerReference(epmContainerReference);

  FolderHelper.assignLocation((wt.folder.FolderEntry) EPMDoc, epmFolder);

  PersistenceHelper.manager.save(EPMDoc);

  uploadPrimary(EPMDoc,primary, docFile );

  return EPMDoc;

  } catch (WTException e) {

  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

  e.printStackTrace();

  } catch (WTInvalidParameterException e) {

  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

  e.printStackTrace();

  } catch (WTPropertyVetoException e) {

  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

  e.printStackTrace();

  } catch (Exception e) {

  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

  e.printStackTrace();

  }

  return null;

  }

  static public void uploadPrimary( EPMDocument docCOUT, String path, String filename ) throws Exception

  {

    //String path = "C:\\Pad_Test.CATPart";

    File filePrimary = new File(path);

     ContentHolder content_holder = (ContentHolder) docCOUT;

     ApplicationData appData = ApplicationData.newApplicationData( content_holder );

     appData.setFileName( filename );//appData.setFileName(filePrimary.getName());

     //  debug(view,"appData.setFileName di "+filePrimary.getName());

     appData.setUploadedFromPath( filePrimary.getParent() );

     //   debug(view,"appData.setUploadedFromPath di "+filePrimary.getParent());

     InputStream is = new FileInputStream( filePrimary );

     // Start transaction

     Transaction trx = new Transaction();

     trx.start();

     // upload stream to database

     appData = ContentServerHelper.service.updatePrimary( (FormatContentHolder) content_holder, appData, is );

     //    debug(view,"appData: "+appData);

     trx.commit();
