Template Files for Attribute Assignment (ManBIM)

function to adjust templates for the attribute assignment of the Document and Drawing Management in Civil Engineering.

If you want to create the HELiOS attributes SACHNUMMER (Article number) and BENENNUNG (Designation) from template files, open the Configuration Editor, choose PDM > Management + BIM > Production drawings and set the parameter Create HELiOS attributes from FTD file to Yes (Default).

Furthermore, you can determine the templates for individual drawing numbers of production drawings and mounting drawings as well for individual item numbers here. For this to happen, specify the number of digits for the parameter Generate n-digit drawing number in the Configuration Editor at PDM > Management + BIM > Production drawings (or PDM > Management + BIM, respectively.

The templates for attribute assignment are also FTD files; they are located in the sys directory of your HiCAD installation. Supplied with HiCAD are the templates listed below:
