Calculated attribute based on existence of Cad Association

@avillanueva , hi

Yes, this is doable

You can pass the attributes that hold the values of number, revision, iteration to a custom method which then find the WTPart.

You can pass the attribute that holds the view too it that required. 

Once the method has the WTPart it can determine if it's linked to a CAD Document by navigating any links you want.

The return value cannot be a Boolean however, Booleans are not allowed in the return value for calculated attributes (not sure why PTC does not allow this but they don't).

The return value can be a String.  So, maybe return String.valueOf(Boolean.TRUE).

Note: In the type manager we see lots of attributes but those are ONLY the ones PTC chose to display OOTB.  There are many more attributes available that can be used.  For example the attribute for the iteration value is not displayed in type manager but it exists and can be used to run a calculation.

Here's a WTPart that's linked to a CAD Doc.  The Part uses a Calculated attribute LINKED_CADDOCUMENT

And here's the calculated attribute.

Hello @avillanueva 

You can do it without creating own class.

Just Create alias attribute on WTpart to get number of CAD and then create Calculate attribute to show True if the alias attribute has any value.

I did it for MPMProcessPlan. 

alias attribute mapping: processPlanLink~processPlan~name

calculated attribute formula: (isNull(TP_ALIAS)) ? "False" : "True"

for CAD there is following mapping:

buildTarget@wt.epm.build.EPMBuildRule~buildSource^wt.epm.EPMDocument~name
