About Check In

When you check in an object, Designer Central recognizes the object from the entry in your working set.

Designer Central verifies whether the document type sent by the CSE and the object type for which the entry was found in the working set matches the bus-type mapping defined in the GCO for that particular document type. The design is checked in when an entry is found in the working set for the design. There is no change in type if the entry in the working set matches the bus type mapping for the design.

You can change the type of the object in ENOVIA to match the type with the input document type, using the dropdown list in the DesignType column in the Checkin page. The DesignType dropdown list displays all types that are mapped against the input document type in the bus-type mapping of the GCO. Upon check in, the type of the design is changed in ENOVIA.

For more details on changing the type on check in, see the ENOVIA Designer Central User's Guide.

When a new CATIA document is checked in for the first time, you will assign or create an Engineering Part to that new CATIA document.

Ensure that a valid location is specified as the Default CheckOut Directory in the Preferences page. Incase this specified location does not exist, then the integration creates the directories on the disk.

Only documents of type CATParts and CATProducts is supported. Assign Parts is supported only for New documents and not saved CATParts and CATProducts.

Assign Part feature is not available for Bulk Loading.

A setting in the GCO ensures that the names assigned for the Engineering Part, the CATIA document and the Business Object created from the new CATIA document is similar. This is setup in the GCO by your Integration Administrator. For more details, see ENOVIA Collaborative Design for CATIA V5 Administrator's Guide.

The name entered in Target Name column in the Checkin page is appled for the assigned part and the CATIA model upon check in. The CATIA model name in the current CATIA session will be changed to the new name and any references to the renamed CATIA model in parent CAD model in the current session will be updated.

When you check in the same model later, the model name will be the same as Target Name. Assign Part is displayed, but cannot be changed.

Out-of-the-box, you cannot overwrite an existing design version with a new revision.

In addition, in the event of a UUID conflict, you cannot overwrite a design version. In both cases, you should check the Create Version option on the Checkin page and set TargetRev to Next.

By default, if you try to check in a design structure that contains nodes that have not yet been saved to disk, you will be unable to select nodes on the Checkin page. This can waste time during the design phase, when design structures change frequently.

To make this process more efficient, your Integration Administrator can set up your system to display a message that check in cannot be performed because certain files have not been saved and the Checkin page is not displayed. This lets you save any new nodes/files before you checkin the design.

This applies to all check in options. For more information regarding GCO settings, refer to the ENOVIA Collaborative Design for CATIA V5 Administrator's Guide.

This section describes the concept behind setting a default value for Type in the Checkin page.

Over time, your company may define new types of objects derived from CATParts, CATProducts, etc. During check in of these new types, you must re-select the object type in the Checkin page. By default, the Type field inthe Checkin page displays options in the Type field based on the first value in a set of values assigned by the Integration Administrator in the GCO. This increases the chance of selecting the wrong type during check in.

The Integration Administrator can make settings in the GCO for selecting the correct type faster, easier, and more reliable. For more information, see ENOVIA Collaborative Design for CATIA V5 Administrator's Guide.
