Entering LCO Attribute Values

The Local Configuration Object (LCO) is created when a collaborative product is assigned to a user and includes defaults for that collaborative product as defined in the GCO.

When the user sets preferences (see the Designer Central User's Guide the values are stored in the LCO for that user.

Any changes made to a GCO after it has been assigned to a user will not be propagated to that user unless you also update assignments as described in Updating Assignments and Assigning GCO.

If you do not want users to be able to change values for certain attributes, set the "Rule to Apply" for the attribute to "Enforce To" in the GCO.


Before you begin:
  1. In Matrix Navigator, open the MCADInteg-LocalConfig object connected to the user and open its attributes for editing.

  2. Edit any of these attributes copied from the GCO as needed. The GCO prefaces the attribute names with IEF-Pref-. See Entering GCO Attribute Values for details about the attributes:

  3. Edit any of these attributes that are not defined in the GCO:


    • IEF-DesignChangesReportInterval

      Function: Indicates the time interval in minutes after which the notification dialog for Design Change Report is displayed. Users can change this value on the Preferences page.

      Syntax: n

      where n is an integer.

      Default Value: 0

    • Attribute: MCADInteg-PingInterval

      Function: This attribute is used to set the interval between the pings of applet to server (to avoid time out).

      Syntax: n

      where n is an integer which signifies the time interval (in secs) to ping server to avoid timeout.

      Default Value: 1

    • Attribute: IEF-UserDirectoryAlias-Map

      Function: For CATIA users only, identifies the directories used as aliases.

      Syntax: MxCATIAV5|<<AliasName1>>=<<Absolutepath>>,<<AliasName2>>=<<Absolute Path>>

      Example:

      MXCATIAV5|out=c:\temp,in=c:\checkin

      where out and in are the alias directories

    • Attribute: MCADInteg-TurnOnDebug

      Function: Enables or disables debugging for both the server and the applet. Users can change this value in the Preferences page. The IEFAppletDebug.log is located in the User Profile directory and contains all debug statements related to the applet and to current user's session.

      Similarly, a the server log file is created in the application server which contains debug statements related to the servlet and to current user's session.

      Possible Values:

      • True--Debug messages written to a log file. Used for troubleshooting.
      • False--No debugging.

      Default Value: False

    • Attribute: IEF-RecentCheckinMaxFileDisplayed

      Function: Defines the maximum number of recently checked in files to display on the Recently Checked tab of the PowerView page.

      Syntax: nn

      where nn is an integer.

      Default Value: 50

    • Attribute: IEF-RecentCheckinFiles

      Function: Stores information about the recently checked in files for display in the Recently Checked tab of the PowerView page. This attribute is updated by the system and should not be edited.

    • Attribute: IEF-ClientSideRenamedFileDetails

      Function: For UGS NX, Pro/ENGINEER and CATIA collaborative products only, stores information about checked out objects that were affected by the Rename, Saved As, and Start Design functions. This attribute is updated by the system and should not be edited.

      Syntax: ENOVIA Type@RenamedObjectName|Filename

    • Attribute: IEF-SharedDrivesList

      Function: Stores the network location of the CAD files in which the user is working irrespective of the client machine. If user checks in a file from network path from one client machine then the network path will be recognized from another client machine with same Designer Central user. If more than one network path is used, they should be separated by comma.

      Syntax:

      If UNC path is used,

      \\mymachine\shared,\\commonmachine\outgoing\shared

      If Mapped Drive is used,

      X:\temp,Z:\

      (Where X:\ is mapped to <machine1>\<folder1> and Z:\ is mapped to <machine2>\<folder2>.

    • Attribute: IEF-DeleteFilesBehaviourOnCheckin

      Function: Determines whether all files on the checkin page or only those selected on the checkin page will be deleted after the checkin operation completes

      Possible Values:


      • Delete Selected Local Files--Only selected files will be deleted
      • Delete All Local Files--All files, even those with EXISTS and EXIST_TypeChange statuses, are deleted
    • Attribute: IEF-AutoRFAUpdate

      Function: The DSCAutoRFAUpdate process updates this attribute with a list of hardlinks that require updates based on the information in the working set compared to the last update of the actual design, see Configuring Automatic RFA Updates for details.

      IEF-AutoRFAUpdate attribute is updated by the system and should not be edited.

    • Attribute:IEF-PreferredIntegrationName

      Function: This flag is used to set the a preferred integration, that is used more frequently than others in case of multiple integrations. Once set, the page relevant for the integration set as preferred integration opens by default.

      Example: SolidWorks

      Once the flag is set to SolidWorks, the GCO Chooser page is not displayed for functions such as Start design or Design Change Report where the user needs to select the integration. The relavant page of the preferred integration directly opens.

    • Attribute: IEF-EBOMSync-ObjectAttrMapping

      Function: Maps attribute values from the CAD object to the corresponding Part object. Each line in this attribute value defines the mapping of 1 CAD object attribute to the associated Part object attribute, and the attribute can contain as many lines as needed.

      Syntax: CADType1|Attr1|PartType1|Attr2

      Example:

      SW Versioned Component|Test01|Part|Test01

      SW Versioned Assembly|Test01|Part|Test01

      SW Versioned Drawing|Test01|Part|Test01

    • Attribute: IEF-EBOMSync-RelAttrMapping

      Function: Maps attribute values from the CAD relation to the corresponding Part relation. Each line in this attribute value defines the mapping of 1 CAD relation attribute to the associated Part object attribute, and the attribute can contain as many lines as needed.

      Syntax: CAD Rel1|Attr1|PartRel1|Attr2

      If using 3DLive, enter this value:

      CAD SubComponent|Spatial Location|EBOM|Component Location
