Managing Attribute Build Rules
The attributes passed from a CAD document to a Windchill part are defined using the Windchill Type and Attribute Management utility.
• Attributes that can be passed can be on one of the following objects.
◦ EPMDocument (Iteration)
◦ EPMDocument Master
◦ EPMMember Link (Occurrence)
A Windchill administrator is able to define the following.
• The complete set of global attributes that can be driven by the CAD document on the associated part.
 |
The Name of the attribute on the CAD document drives the same-named attribute on the associated part.
|
• Which attributes in the full set are propagated only from the CAD document to the part, as opposed to bi-directional propagation.
When you define a Contributing Image, or a Contributing Content association, a conflict is presented if the target part has a soft-attribute with a single value constraint, and more than one CAD document is contributing a value for that attribute. During the build, if any of the attribute values have changed, then the corresponding part is iterated. Otherwise, the build service does not iterate the part.
