About User Exits

The Integration Administrator sets the necessary User Exits in the IEF-UserExitEventRegistration attribute of the GCO. Only registered user exit functions are called during their operations.

You can set values as shown in the table for actions by leaving a white space in between the two possible values for UGS NX and Pro/ENGINEER integrations and separated by comma in CATIA, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Microstation, and AutoCAD integrations. For example, the system administrator can set values like CheckinPartPre CheckoutPartPre in UG and CheckinPartPre,CheckoutPartPre in SolidWorks to have User Exits before Checkin and Checkout operations.

The following table lists the User Exit function values you can set for various actions in Designer Central:

Action	User Exit Function Values	Description
Checkin	CheckinDialogPre	Called as soon as the user clicks Checkin and before first request sent to Integration Framework. Depending on this result, checkin starts.
	CheckinStart	Called before the object creation for each selected item
	CheckinPartPre	Called after second response and before third request, typically used to create image files. The part file is not checked in yet, no attributes are created or updated, and no relationships are established.
	CheckinPartPost	Called after successful file transfer and before exiting checkin operation.
