[Former Member]

Hello,

For storage of autocad drawing attributes in SAP.

Are they stored thru classification in DIR additional tab manually or

any automation options are available for storage of drawing attributes in sap thru classification in additional tab data.of DIR.

Thanks.

Hi Anirudh,

normally you can upload AutoCAD originals like any other file format. Also from CDESK it is possible to create new documents with attached AutoCAD files.

Best regards,

Dear Anirudh,

what kind of attributes are you looking for?

Generally original related information is stored in the following tables:

DMS_PHIO2FILE

DMS_DOC2LOIO

DMS_PH_CD1

These are the DMS table which contain original related data. Hope this could be helpful.

Best regards,

These are the attributes on autocad drawing. I think that those can be stored only by way of additional data tab.

Dear Anirudh,

from DMS point of view I'm not sure about this, but maybe this can be done by CDESK transaction as this is the CAD transaction.

Hi,

The attributes from AutoCAD can be transfered to SAP DIR.

This is possible thru the CAD Integration.

I have worked on this,

For Eg,

If you are having an attribute in AutoCAD Title block Eg.Drawing Type.

If you are having same Characteristic in SAP DIR which is in Additoinal Data tab.

You can transfer the data from CAD to SAP Automatically.

If i change anything in the AutoCAD attribute that will be automatically updated in SAP DIR also.

Hi Anirudh,

Im using a third Party tool called mySAP PLM ACAD Integration.

which is a tool developed by CIDEON software Germany.

This tool provides lot of facilities in integrating AutoCAD with SAP.

Through this integration only im Mapping the AutoCAD Title block attributes with SAP DIR.

Hi,

Just want the same thing, Through this integrator 4.0/4.5 how are you mapping title block attributes in DIR. Anything needs to be done in cfg file?

Thx.

Anirudh,

Yes, you have to do some configuration in the CFG file.

In specific you have to do the configuration under UpdateDIR, and Call this from Trigger.

So that whenever you make changes in CAD it will update the DIR.

I wil give you an example,

Goto UpdateDIR->BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2

Create two folders named CLASSALLOCATIONS and CHARACTERISTICVALUES.

Under CLASSALLOCATIONS

Create a folder/object LINE_0

under that,

Create,

CLASSTYPE 017

CLASSNAME <Name of the class>

Under CHARACTERISTICVALUES

Create a folder/object LINE_0

CLASSTYPE 017

CLASSNAME <Name of the class>

CHARNAME <Characteristic Name>

CHARVALUE <Characteristic Value>

After this call UpdateDIR from Triggers.

For CHARVALUE you can map title block attributes like this

Key : CHARVALUE

Value : %TITLEBLOCK(GEN-TITLE-SIZ)
