QY CAD Data Preparation Utility

The QY CAD Data Preparation Utility assists you in analyzing and preparing your unmanaged QY CAD documents before importing them into a Teamcenter-managed environment. The utility is delivered when you install QY CAD.

In the utility, use the following workflow to prepare your unmanaged documents for importing into a managed environment:

Basic workflow

• Specify the document management application for which you are preparing your data.

• Set your working folder if you want to use a folder other than the default folder for log files.

• Select files or folders for analysis, or use an existing ordered or unordered list of documents.

• Analyze your unmanaged files to identify many of the document preparation tasks necessary for importing your data into the managed environment. The Generate Import List option:

  • Evaluates QY CAD files for duplicate document number values, duplicate file names, empty revision entries, empty project names, and broken links.

  • Performs a file name length analysis.

  • Evaluates the QY CAD property mapping.

  • Reports the results in spreadsheet form in an analysis report.

  Caution:

  If you use custom QY CAD data properties, you must define the custom properties for use in Teamcenter using the spreadsheet datapreputilitiestemplate.xlsm located in \Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022 \Program. For instructions, see Define custom properties before analysis.

• Fix broken links in QY CAD files before you import them into the managed environment using options in the Fix Broken Links tab.

• Update unmanaged QY CAD files based on entries in the analysis report, and modify properties of the unmanaged QY CAD files.

• Use the Add to Teamcenter program to import your prepared unmanaged document to the managed environment.
