SolidWorksInteg-GlobalConfig Object

This section describes the default Global Configuration Object installed by ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server installation.

The Administrator installs a sample Global Configuration Object based on user requirements. In SolidWorks, the sample global config object, "SWNewArch" with Revision 1 is installed. Refer to the ENOVIA Designer Central Installation and Administrator's Guide for a detailed description of each attribute and its significance.

Following are for some important attributes that contain values specific to the SolidWorks Integration. The ENOVIA Collaborative Design for SolidWorks Server installation sets these attributes.
