You must create a bulkload file that names each of the required custom attributes. The Excel workbook is then bulkloaded to the catalog.

  1. Open the Drawings-ExtendCustomAttributes.xls workbook. The workbook is available on the customer support web site.

    This workbook provides an example format for adding drawing custom attributes, such as custom drawing properties to be used in creating drawing borders. See Drawings-ExtendCustomAttributes Workbook in Drawings and Reports Reference Data Help.

  2. Select the CustomInterfaces sheet.

  3. Select the row after the last row of attributes, and click Insert > Row.

  4. In column A, type A in the first empty row to indicate a new drawing custom attribute is to be added during the next bulkload.

    The left-most column of the sheet (column A) specifies the bulkload action taken with regard to the row. For example, an A in the column indicates the drawing custom attribute is being added, a D specifies the attribute is deleted, and the letter M indicates the attribute is modified. An exclamation (!) symbol specifies that the row is ignored during bulkloading.

  5. In the AttributeName column, type OverrideExtension7, and set AttributeUserName to Override Extension 7.

  6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 to add two attributes: OverrideExtension8 and OverrideExtension9.

    Your updated sheet should look similar to the example shown below.

  7. Save the Drawings-ExtendCustomAttributes.xls workbook, and click File > Close.

  8. Open the Bulkload Utility, and define the settings as follows:

    1. Select Append to existing catalog.

    2. Clear the Update Object Type Hierarchy and Catalog Views boxes.

      SHARED Tip For details about using the Bulkload utility, see Loading Reference Data into the Catalog in Smart 3D Reference Data Help.

  9. Click Load to add the new reference data to the selected catalog.

  10. When bulkload processing is complete, review the log file to ensure that there are no errors.
