Map CADWorx custom data to PCF material attributes - CADWorx - Help

The steps below illustrate how to map a custom data field created in the Specification Editor (PIPESIZE) to a PCF material attribute.

1. In I-Configure, create a new CADWorx project or enable an existing project for CADWorx.

   For more information, see Isometric Projects in the I-Configure User's Guide. You can access this document using the Help > Printable Guides command in I-Configure.

2. Select a drawing style in the Project View panel, and then click Edit in the Properties panel.

   Isogen Configuration opens and displays the Home screen.

3. Select Attribute Mappings in the CADWorx category tile.

   The software switches to the Configuration view and displays the contents of the Attribute Mappings panel.

4. Expand Material Attribute Mapping, and then click Show to open the Material Attribute Map data grid.

5. Define the setting for Custom Data Field. To browse a specification for the custom data, click Browse ().

   The Open dialog box displays.

6. Locate the specification, and then click Open.

   The software opens the Select from spec dialog box and displays the contents of the selected specification in a tree view format. Each data table appears as a node in the tree.

7. Expand and collapse the nodes to locate the custom data, and then click OK.

   

   The software closes the dialog box. The custom data that you selected displays in the Custom Data Field box.

   

8. Select the corresponding mapping in the PCF Attribute list. For example, select MATERIAL-ATTRIBUTE3.

   

9. Click to update the active style file with the new settings.

   When you generate a drawing in CADWorx based on the selected specification, all entries from the specification now have MATERIAL-ATTRIBUTE3 set to 50 (the default value as defined in the Specification Editor). An example is shown below:

   MATERIAL-IDENTIFIER 6

   ITEM-CODE 1
   DESCRIPTION Copy - PIPE, SMLS, ASTM A106 GR B -80 Pipe
   MATERIAL-ATTRIBUTE3 50
