The following classification in the table describes the requirements for modifying attributes for Family Table objects in CATIA V5:
Attribute Class
Description
Generic-driven
An attribute (parameter) that is designated in the generic model but not added as a column to the Family Table. A Windchill attribute that is set as generic in CATIA V5 is reflected as generic only and is not listed for the instances in Windchill.
Independent Table-driven
An attribute (parameter) that was added to the Family Table and has a unique value that was assigned using the Family Table editor. The Windchill attribute that is set for instances in the design table as a column name is reflected for the instances in Windchill.

In the CATIA design table, include only the attribute or IBA as the column name and not the path (location) of the attribute.
