Define default Item types


You can define the default Item type for a QY CAD document type by editing the value of the SEEC_Default_Item_Type preference. Some examples of most commonly used Item types are: Item, Design, Document, and Drawing.

For a full description of the preference, see the Teamcenter Preferences section of the Teamcenter Integration for QY CAD (SEEC) Guide for Users and Administrators.

  1. Start the Teamcenter rich client and log in with database administrator privileges.

  2. Choose Edit→Options→Search.

  3. In the Search On Keywords box, type SEEC_Default_Item_Type, and then select it from the list.

    The preference has a default value of:

    Item

    Item

    The preference must contain a value. If only the first row exists, it defines the default Item type for all document types used in QY CAD (3D QY CAD documents, QY CAD Draft, and linked non-QY CAD document types such as Word, Excel and images).

    If the first and second rows exist, the value specified on the first row defines the default Item type for 3D QY CAD documents and non-QY CAD documents. The value specified on the second row defines the default Item type for draft documents.

    If Item is used after the first two rows, it is ignored.

  4. For a QY CAD document type, edit the SEEC_Default_Item_Type preference and specify exceptions to the default value by setting the QY CAD document type equal to the real Item type name as seen in BMIDE.

    Example:

    Item

    Item

    asm=Design

    par=custom_item_type1

    psm=custom_item_type2

    pwd=Item

    If all document types are explicitly defined, the first row defines non-QY CAD documents, and the second row is ignored. If an Item type is defined more than once, only the first occurrence is used. Item type definition is case sensitive.

    Note:

    The Item type you specify must exist in the preference, SEEC_ItemTypeList_ for that document type. In this example, SEEC_ItemTypeList_SE Assembly must contain Design.

  5. To save the edited values, click Save.

  6. Close the Options dialog box.

  7. Restart QY CAD to reread the preference values.

Note:

When you import unmanaged documents to Teamcenter using Add to Teamcenter, and the document you are importing has an Item type that is defined with a custom property, the value of the custom property is used during import.
