how to transfer SOLIDWORK Configuration related properties to SAP from ECTR

[arun_prasads]

Hi,

Can you guide me how to transfer Configuration related properties to SAP and not the custom maintained properties from SOLIDWORKS ECTR Integration...

In SOLIDWORKS, we have the More properties option which pops up a window with tabs Custom properties and Configuration properties.

We are able to transfer properties to SAP when property values are maintained at CUSTOM tab but unable to transfer property values if maintained at Configuration TAB.

For ex

I want to transfer the below settings to SAP from Solidworks configuration properties through Import on demand

< APPL_ATTRIBUTE name="_DOCNUMBER">
< APPL_ATTRIBUTE name="$(variant)-SLW_PartNo"/>
< /APPL_ATTRIBUTE>

I tried but unable to get the result.

Kindly help..

Thanks
Arun Prasad

Hello Arun,

it is not possible to transfer configuration specifc properties to DIR-fields or DIR class characteristics because every SOLIDWORKS document can have multiple configuration. Because it is not clear which configuration will win, this is not supported so far.

Configuration specific properties can only transfered to material fields or material class characteristic of the material which is linked to the configuration (CAD variant). For further informations to this you can take a look in this SCN wiki page SOLIDWORKS configuration specific attribute transfer.

P.S.

If you want to transfer properties to the Import on demand dialog you first have to define the attributes_section for document_create in the dtype.xml:

         <document_create      attribute_section="SLWMDL"
                               .............>
         </document_create>

And second to set the preference plm.options.importOnDemand.TransferAttributesToSAP.SLW in default.txt to true.
