Defining Property Mapping for the Title Block

This section shows you how to define property mapping for title blocks.

  1. Launch the Integration Tool Setup utility.
    The Integration Tool Setup dialog box appears:

    2. A mapping group type i.e. a set of mapping groups, applicable to a specific SmarTeam class must now be defined that corresponds to the CATIA Drawing class.

  2.  In the tree displayed, right-click on Mapping Group Types and select Add mapping group type.
    The Map Group Type dialog box appears.

  3. In the Name: field, enter the group type name CATIA Drawing as shown:

    4. The name of the mapping group type must be identical to that of the SmarTeam Class it applies to.

  4. Click OK.

  5. In the tree, right-click on the CATIA Drawing item and select Open groups tree.
    The Mapping Groups Tree window appears.

  6.  In the tree, right-click on CATIA Drawing groups and select Add.
    The Manage group type window appears.

  10. Select Add.

  11. Enter Type in the Name: field.
    The name of the mapping property must be identical to the corresponding CATIA Formula property .

    This defines as Drawing Type the SmarTeam attribute to be linked to the CATIA Formula property .
