This example shows how to include CADWorx custom data attributes in the Isogen material list.

You use the CADWorx Specification Editor to create your custom data. For detailed information about creating and using custom data, see the CADWorx Spec Editor User's Guide, available with the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

  1. Open I-Configure, and enable the Isogen project for CADWorx. Make sure you uncheck the optional styles.

    SHARED Tip Leaving these styles selected creates additional styles in the project.

  2. Open Isogen Configuration, and map the custom data as needed. For more information, see Map CADWorx custom data to PCF component attributes.

    In the example, the CADWorx custom data COATING_SPEC and COATING_MANUF are mapped to COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE10 and COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE11, respectively.

  3. Click Save to update the active style file with the new settings.

  4. Open the Drawing Setup Tool, and apply COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE10 and COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE11 to the Isogen material list. For more information, see Drawing Areas Page in the Isogen Configuration User's Guide. You can access this document using the Help > Printable Guides command in Isogen Configuration.

  5. Return to the CADWorx model. If you have not already done so, assign the custom data values. In the example, the value for COATING_SPEC is set to FBE, and the value for COATING_MANUF is set to BASF.

  6. Apply the custom data to the components, and then generate the isometric drawing.

    During drawing generation, Isogen transfers the custom data values that you assigned to the components in the model to the Isogen BOM.
