Hi.
We're in the process of importing a lot of Inventor files to PDMLink.
We want the "Author" parameter from Inventor to be mapped to "Created By" in PDMLink (10.0 M030).
It's no problem mapping the 2 attributes, but when I import the Inventor files It's not the original "Author's" initials in the "Created By" field but mine.
Does anyone have a similar experience and maybe a solution?
I don't want multiple "Created By" attributes. This must be possible.
hmm.
Does that mean, that pdmlink can get the real inventor files, or is the purpouse to convert to pro files ?
If this is just a one time bang for the buck.
Try creating a custom parameter, in inventor. Called "Created By"
If this imports without problems, then you can do a vba script. that creates the created By,
copies author value -> created by.
Perhaps you can even create a
created by = author relation. Ask the support about that.
The created by = author, id then add to my invetor templates.
Again, i only know how id'd solve this from the inventor side of things.
Are you converting to pro/creo, and then importing to pdmlink ?
