Initial Revision Parameter
<string>
Identifies the file property name that shows the initial revision to be used when uploading a file to Windchill. This revision is set on first upload and is further controlled by Windchill.
Naming Parameter
<string>
Specifies the CAD tool parameter to be used when generating a CAD document name upon initial upload
Numbering Parameter
<string>
Specifies the CAD tool parameter to be used when generating a CAD document number upon initial upload
Soft type Parameter
<string>
Identifies the file property name that shows the soft type to be used when uploading a file to Windchill. The default value is UPLOAD_SOFT_TYPE. This property is used to assign a specific soft type to a file or a template. Soft type will be set on first upload and will not change after that.

Use Current Attribute Mapping
<comma-separated list>
Allows the selective set of designated parameters to be mapped to Windchill attributes using the current attribute mapping definition instead of the mapping that was previously used. List the name of parameters, separated by , (comma). This option is applicable for parameters mapped to Windchill reusable attribute with type floating number with units only.
Use Explicit Mapping for Designated Parameter Creation
Yes
No (default)
This option controls the name of the designated parameter to be created in the file. If the attribute name and parameter name in the file are explicitly mapped, and if the corresponding parameter does not exist in the file, this option allows the user to control the name of the parameter to be created in the file. The default value is "No". Set to No, the name of the parameter is the same as Windchill attribute name. Set to Yes, the name of the parameter is based on the explicit attribute mapping.
