For soft-type attributes, values sent to the CAD tool are the display values as seen on the object’s Information Page. Display values use Attribute Handling preferences and Type and Attribute Management settings but do not support complex display customizations using data utilities for rendering.
For example, the review date and approve date follows the Type and Attribute Management setting for Date Display Format as dd-MM-yy.

This functionality can only be used if you do not have a customized server-side delegate CustomModeledAttributesDelegate that can be used to insert parameters (see the next section below for Custom Delegate).
For the associated part:
• This functionality supports parts related to the CAD Document with Owner, Contributing Image, Image and Contributing Content.
• The selected part version is similar to the CAD Document’s information page related parts table.
• If more than one revision of the same part is related to the CAD Document, then the latest revision of each part is returned.
• More than one part can be returned if the system is configured to allow multiple build associations, with the server-side preference > > set to Yes. In this case, the information for each related part is returned in a delimited format. The delimiter used is defined by the server-side preference > .
For the related ECN:
• When the CAD Document revision participates in the Change Notice as Resulting Object, then the attributes about the ECN are sent to the CAD parameter.
• If the CAD Document revision participates in more than one Change Notice, then the delimiter used is defined by the server-side preference >
• The rejected ECNs are not listed.
