Setting Options on the Component Subtab

Creo View MCAD Adapters Guide > Editing Recipes for Using Creo View MCAD Adapters > Introduction to Recipe Editing for Converting CAD Data > Setting Options on the Parameters Tab > Setting Options on the Component Subtab

On the Parameter > Component tab, you can select the attributes of components to convert. The attributes that appear in the Available Attributes column are available for conversion. These attributes vary by adapter type, and can change depending on the available CAD data. To move attributes to the Selected Attributes column, select them in the Available Attributes list, and then click the arrow.

In the following table, the default attributes available for each adapter are listed. If an adapter is not listed, it has no default attributes.
