Project: HELiOS PDM for AutoCAD

Attribute Assignments: Index Table

During Attribute assigning in the direction HELiOS -> CAD you can, via so-called Index tables, write attributes to AutoCAD properties which will then be visible in all title blocks of drawing frames.

This can make sense if you want, for example, view a modification history based on HELiOS version management in the drawing frame of a model drawing.

To enter or edit an index table, select a Property prefix for the title block in the same-named pull-down menu at the top of the window.

Please note that index tables require the selection of an Area, which is mandatory in AutoCAD.

You can additionally select a Condition, e.g. "IsSemiFinishedPart" or "IsStandardAndNoSemiFinishedPart" to ensure that this attribute assignment will be exclusively used for particular parts or drawings.

In the input field below, enter a Number of rows.

The HELiOS indices will then be shown in the title block in descending order, i.e. if the index table has 6 rows, and the most recent index is 8, (or "h", respectively), the indices from 3 to 8 (or from "c" to "h"; respectively) will be shown in the title block.

Click on the symbol to add columns to the index table. The following dialogue window will be displayed:

Enter a meaningful Property suffix which is to be shown in the title block, and a reasonable Maximum length (in terms of characters) for the appropriate field.

Click on the symbol (Add attribute) to open a further selection dialogue for the attribute of the column:

Mark the desired attribute, confirm with OK and close the Edit column window, also with OK. The attribute will then be added to the attribue assignment of the index table.
