Creating custom document properties


Use custom QY CAD properties to map to Teamcenter attributes prior to adding unmanaged documents to Teamcenter. For example, create custom properties to define the Item Revision for non-QY CAD documents including image files, .pdf documents, and Microsoft Office documents (MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint). You can also create custom properties to define the properties for non-graphic parts.

Adding non-QY CAD documents to Teamcenter

When non-QY CAD documents (image files, .pdf documents, Microsoft Office documents, etc.) are added to Teamcenter using Add to Teamcenter, the custom properties that map QY CAD properties to Teamcenter attributes are used. If the Item Type, Item ID, and Item Revision are defined, the non-Solid Edge document is uploaded into Teamcenter using the defined property mappings. However, if any defining properties are missing, the Teamcenter attribute is automatically assigned as with any other document type.

Caution:

If the QY CAD property that defines the Teamcenter Item Revision is not defined, the Item Revision will be auto-assigned upon import. The non-QY CAD document may not receive the same Item Revision number as its parent document.

Create custom properties to map QY CAD properties to Teamcenter attributes defining the Item Revision before adding the non-QY CAD document to Teamcenter.

Adding non-graphic parts into Teamcenter

Before you add non-graphic parts (grease, paint, and so on) to Teamcenter using Add to Teamcenter, create the custom properties:

  • SE_ASSEMBLY_QUANTITY_OVERRIDE

  • SE_ASSEMBLY_QUANTITY_STRING

  • Unit of Measure (UOM)

If one or more of these properties are missing when you add the document to Teamcenter, the item is added to the assembly without the non-graphic information.

Tip:

Use the Add to Teamcenter Dry Run prior to adding your document to Teamcenter in order to be notified of any condition that should be resolved.

The value of unit of measure must be considered with regard to what is defined as geometric units of measure. The Teamcenter preference SEEC_UOM_List_as_Geometric defines the unit of measure values that represent geometric components. (Example: each)

Note:

Defining custom properties for use

Define your custom QY CAD properties for use in Teamcenter using the spreadsheet datapreputilitiestemplate.xlsm located in \Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022 \Program.

See the Help file Define custom properties prior to analysis for instructions.
