Description
|
Open of a CAD document
|
During the open of an assembly, a check is performed on each CATPart with the XML file to determine if there are any pending metadata changes for the documents in session. These metadata changes fall into two categories: system attributes (examples: revision changes, iteration changes, lifecycle changes, name/number changes) and file-based Attributes (metadata changes which are tracked on the CAD document through an attribute which is mapped to a global attribute in Windchill) Depending on which update is necessary the XML file determines if new CGR files are generated on disk.
|
Switch a CATPart into Design Mode
|
If the only updates necessary for an in-session CAD document are for system attributes, then the update is delayed until the part is switched into design mode. This delay prevents loading the documents into session when only the system attributes have been changed.
|
Save to Workspace
|
If a CATPart has been modified, then it is saved and a new CGR and XML file is generated to reflect the changes made to the document.
