Customizing Existing Windchill Attributes (NX)
To create more authoring application parameters, Windchill provides a server-side delegate that can be used to customize the system parameters added to the CAD file upon download. This is referred to as extending the Windchill system attribute. Upon Add to Workspace, the system queries Windchill for system parameters. After the administrator changes the server-side delegate code by adding to it (or commenting out what is there), the authoring application publishes the new parameter.
Windchill provides a sample delegate that creates all the authoring application optional system parameters. These are reserved as a convenience, so that modified or new authoring application parameters can easily be mapped. The administrator locates the delegate and modifies it according to company requirements. The list of reserved Windchill attributes is listed below.
