2D3D Association Status Option:
When the value of the Location field is set to 1, the 2D3D
Integrator displays a yellow checkmark for a 2D object that has a
corresponding 3D physical object with the same instance ID, but the two
are not associated. 2D3D Integration Status Report:
The name and location of the output file used when you generate an
integration report for a schematic driven design.
Always Use Spec From Line:
In the Location field, enter 0 if you always want to use the
specification from the Line. Enter 1 if you only want to use the
specification of the Line during Respec of parts and runs.
Annotation Catalog: Catalog of text templates. Text templates allow
the user to quickly and easily annotate a diagram or drawing.
Attributes
That Can be Modified: You can use this to allow protected
attributes to be modified on an instance. Some attributes that are
defined on a reference part cannot be modified on the placed instance.
To make them modifiable, create a file using a text editor (like
WordPad) and list all the attributes you want to be able to modify. Name
the file AttributesThatCanbeModified.txt. You can place the file
anywhere you want - make sure the correct directory path is specified in
the Location field. NOTE: This resource is commented out in the sample
PRM file (project.xml). If you need to use it you must un-comment it and
take the other steps outlined above.
Bendable
Polyline: Enabling this feature creates heavy bendables with a polyline.
Existing bendables are converted to polyline when modified. To enable,
enter the value 1 for the Location field. To disable, enter 0.
- Using option 0, the bendable is created with a Join as the
center curve of the Rib. Dimensions created on the 2-D
representation of this bendable will not be associative because the
geometry is recreated during 3-D modification.
- Using option 1, the bendable is created with a Polyline as the
center curve of the Rib. Dimensions created on the 2-D
representation of this bendable will be associative because the
geometry is modified and not recreated during 3-D modification.
NOTE: To migrate a V4 tubing bendable to V5 so that the centerline is a
polyline, you must also add the resource BendablePolyLine
under the discipline CATAECV4V5Migration in the PRM file. The
value of the Location field must be set to 1.
Cable Category Wildcard: The value in the Location field
controls routing behavior of cables through a hanger or raceway. The
behavior is explained in the Electrical Cableway Routing User Guide,
Customizing - Customizing Settings. If you add any character (usually *)
in the Location field (Location="*") then the wildcard is enabled. (Do
not use a space.) To enable the wildcard behavior you must also use the
same character as the value for the attribute Cable Category for
the hanger or raceway.
Catalog: The parts catalog for 2D applications, e.g.
PIDCatalog. The parts catalog for 3D applications is generally referred
to as a "parts catalog", e.g. PipingPartsCatalog. Catalog
locations can be changed, with an associated change in the PRM file.
Computed Attributes: This entry shows the location of the
ComputedAttributes.txt file. The computed attributes contained in this file
will display in the Properties dialog box. You can change the location of
this file, and update the PRM file accordingly. You can also change the
entries in the file.

Compatibility): This allows you to override the compatibility design
rules. Three options are available to you. Enter the option number in the
Location field.
- 0 - Tube, pipe. duct or bendable will connect to a part only if
they are compatible. The relevant Tools - Options setting is grayed
out (Tools > Options > Design Criteria).
- 1 - Tube, pipe. duct or bendable will connect to a part even if
they are not compatible. The relevant Tools - Options setting is
grayed out (Tools > Options > Design Criteria).
- 2 - The Tools - Options setting is not grayed out and can be changed by the
user. The default behavior for the current session is derived from the CATSettings.
Connector Attributes: This file lists the attributes that will be
inherited (from the part) by a connector when you are placing it on a part.
If you want to make changes to the attributes you want a connector to
inherit you must do it in this file. Do not change the name of this file.
Create External Link: Controls whether there will be an
external link between a
flexible and the part to which it is routed. Works together with the
option Restrict external selection with link to published elements
in the tab page Tools - Options - Infrastructure - Part
Infrastructure - General. If the value of the Location field is:
- 0 - External link will not be created.
- 1, and the option is not selected - An external link is created,
even if the selected geometry is not published.
- 1, and the option is selected - External link will be restricted
to published geometry. Geometry that is not published cannot be
selected.

directory is used to store them.
Electrical Design Rules Catalog: Enter the location of the
Design Rules Catalog in the Location field.
Equip Design Rules Catalog: This is used by 2D applications when
assigning a part type to a 2D part.
Equip Parts Catalog: This is used by 2D applications when
assigning a part type to a 2D part.

Equipment Arrangement. The value in the Location field dictates:
1 - Function driven equipment placement is possible; 2 - Only functionless
equipment placement is possible. (Schematic driven parts placement is
not possible in Equipment Arrangement.); 3 - Both function driven and
functionless equipment placement are possible (a final Tools - Options
setting is needed. See Functionless Parts Placement in Equipment
Arrangement documentation.)

the current session is
derived from the CATSettings.
Graphic 2D Symbols Catalog: For Piping, this is the
catalog in which the 2-D equivalents of 3-D endstyles are stored. For
Equipment, this catalog contains 2-D symbols for center of gravity. See
Drawing Production for more information.
Graphic Representations: When you create graphic representations
for a part you need a file in which to store the categories (single,
double, etc.). That file is created within an application, as you will see
later. There is also a file under Project Resources because the categories
must be available to all applications. If you add a new category you must
include it in this file too. Enter a new location and file name if you want
to change them.
Growth Factor: Some applications allow you to reserve space in
some parts for future growth. You can, for instance, reserve space in a
conduit for future growth. The space saved for future growth will be equal
to the value you enter in the "Location" field. If you enter 0.2 it means
that 20 percent of the space in a conduit will be reserved for future
growth and you will only be allowed to use 80 percent of the space in it.
Hanger Cable Clearance: The value in the Location field is the
cable clearance, in millimeters. This value plus the diameter of the cable
you are routing must be less than the tier spacing of the hanger. The cable
clearance value is assigned when a hanger is placed.
HVAC Up Direction: The value in the Location field determines the
'Up' direction of a part that is placed on a run. There are two numerals in
this field - the first dictates the up direction for a part placed on a
horizontal run, the second is for a vertical run. Thus, if the value is 00,
the Up direction will the same for both horizontal and vertical runs. The
values are: 0 - follow the run's Up Direction; 1 - Up direction will follow
the X axis; 2 - follow Y axis; 3 - follow Z axis.
ID Schema Resources: The "location" lists the directory where the
rules for naming objects are stored. Use the default location provided in
the sample file. You need to have this for every application you use. In
addition, there is an entry for "MultiDisciplineIDSchema." This location is
used for objects -such as zones - that are used by all disciplines.
ID Sequence Number: The IDSequenceNumber directory contains the
last sequence number that was generated for an object. You should specify a
location for it.
Ignore Neighbor Compatibility (see also Connect To
Incompatible Neighbor): During part placement, the parts selection list will be displayed
based on this setting. Three options are available to you. Enter the
option number in the Location field.
- 0 - Tube, pipe. duct or bendable will display only if they are
compatible with the neighboring part. The relevant Tools - Options
setting is grayed out (Tools > Options > Design Criteria).
- 1 - Tube, pipe. duct or bendable will display even if they are
not compatible with the neighboring part. The relevant Tools -
Options setting is grayed out (Tools > Options > Design Criteria).
- 2 - The Tools - Options setting is not grayed out and can be changed by the
user. The default behavior for the current session is derived from the CATSettings.
Import...: Usually followed by a type of line, such as Piping
Line. Used when migrating V4 data to V5. If set to True a line will be
created in the V5 Piping Line catalog if it does not exist. When set to
False, the migration process will stop if the line does not exist in V5.
Importer CATfcts: This lists the location of your CATfct files,
and is used when migrating V4 models to V5. If you change the location of
the CATfct files you must enter the new location in the "Location" field.
You do not need to do anything if you continue to use the default location.
Instrument Line Attribute Filter: A file that defines the list of
instrumentation related attributes used to filter the Instrument Line ID
selection list.
Instrument Lines Catalog: The file where shared instrument lines
(line IDs) are stored.
Insulation Spec Catalog: Usually preceded by an application name,
such as HVAC. If you intend to use different resources, which is likely,
then you must enter the new file name and location, as appropriate.
Length Unit: The unit used for defining the Bounding Box length.
Line ID Attribute Filter: A file that defines the list of
attributes used to filter the application Line ID selection list.
Lines Catalog: Usually preceded by an application name. The file
where shared lines (line IDs) are stored.
Material Management Mode: The value of the Location field
determines the default state of the option Show
Preferred List Only in Material & Orientation dialogs. None:
The option displays in its last opened state. ActiveUnSpec: The option is
unselected. ActiveSpec: The option is selected.
Material Spec Catalog: Usually preceded by an application name,
such as HVAC. If you intend to use different resources, which is likely,
then you must enter the new file name and location, as appropriate.
Migrate...: Usually followed by an application name. This option
is used when migrating V4 data to V5. Set the value of Location to True if
you want data of this type to be migrated into your V5 document. Set it to
False if you do not want it migrated.
Migration Mapping Table: The migration mapping table maps V4
classes and attributes to V5. There are other mapping tables specific to
applications, such as Tubing Migration Mapping Table, which maps V4 tubing
detail names to V5, and Structures Migration Mapping Table, which maps
structures names from V4 to V5.
Migrated PID No Show Sheet Format: The sheet format (also known
as title block) will not be visible if the value of "Location" is set to
False.
Migrated XXX Sheet Size: XXX is an application name, such as PID.
Enter the size in the Location field - Letter, Legal, A0, ISO/A1, ISO/A2,
ISO/A3, ISO/A4, ISO/A, ANSI/B, ANSI/C, ANSI/D, ANSI/E, ANSI/F, ANSI).
Migrate XXX With Missing Lines: XXX is an application name, such
as PID. If set to True the sheet will be migrated even if some Lines cannot
be. If set to False the migration process will stop if missing lines are
encountered.
Molded Conventions: Location of a file that contains the rules
defining molded conventions for structural objects.
Naming Section Characteristics: Location of the NLS file that
lists names of sections whose names should not be changed. This is
for internal use. Do not change anything in this entry.
Offsheets Catalog: Usually preceded by an application name, such
as PID. The catalog of offsheet symbols to be used in a schematic diagram.
Orientation Naming Convention: This is a variable that defines
the ship coordinate system, whether it is American or European. For
American convention enter the following in the Location field:
CATStrOrientNamingUSAConv.
Out Of Spec Warning: Controls a warning message during parts
placement. The following options can be entered in the Location field: 0
- Do not display a warning message during Spec-driven part placement if
the specification of the part is different from the specification of the
Line; 1 - Display a warning message during Spec-driven part placement if
the specification of the part is different from the specification of the
Line.
Override Reference Attributes Using Dimension Rule: Controls
whether a part that is to be placed should obtain its wall thickness and
outside diameter from the Dimension Rule, or from the Design Table. The
default is 0, meaning the part will pick up the values from the Design
Table. If you want the values to be picked up from the Dimension Rule
then enter 1 in the Location field.
Partially resolved reference part number options & unique reference
part number options: These two entries define how a placed part will be
named. 'Unique reference' parts are those that have at least one property
(or all properties) that can have infinite values. An HVAC duct is an
example. 'Partially resolved' parts are those in which the values of all
properties are defined by a design table. Valves are an example. In this
entry, if you enter 1 in the Location field then the name of the placed
part will be derived from the design table. If you enter 2 then the name
will be derived from the object naming rules.
Parts Catalog: The parts catalog for 3D applications, e.g.
PipingPartsCatalog or TubingPartsCatalog. Contains parametric
parts. If you intend to use different resources, which is likely, then you
must enter the new file name and location, as appropriate.
Part Number Maximum Length: The value of the Location field
controls the number of letters allowed in the part number when placing a
part. The default value is EV5. You can enter any of the following
values.
- NoLimit - No limit on the number of letters that can be used in the
part number.
- Automatic - Limits the number of letters allowed based on the
setting for the environment in which the user is working.
- EV5 - The maximum number of letters allowed by Enovia V5 will be
used.
- VPM - The maximum number of letters allowed by VPM will be
enforced.
- (Integer) - Enter a positive integer. The number of letters
allowed in the part name will be limited to this number.
Part File Name Maximum Length: The value of the Location field
controls the number of letters allowed in the part file name. The
default value is EV5. You can enter any of the following
values.
- NoLimit - No limit on the number of letters that can be used in the
file name.
- Automatic - Limits the number of letters allowed based on the
setting for the environment in which the user is working.
- EV5 - The maximum number of letters allowed by Enovia V5 will be
used.
- (Integer) - Enter a positive integer. The number of letters
allowed in the part name will be limited to this number.
Penetration Openings Catalog: The profiles of the holes you may
want to make through walls and partitions to pass pipes and ducts are noted
in this catalog. If you make a new profile you must enter it here too.
Enter a new location and file name if you want to change them.
Project Envelope: (Bounding Box) Location of a file that
specifies the dimensions of your project - if you are designing a ship then
it will be set within these dimensions. You can define the unit used for
measuring - the default is millimeter - and change the default values for
each direction. The values are measured from the origin (000).
Project Parameters: Location of a file that defines
a ship's coordinate system.
Project Reference Planes: Location of a file that contains
defined project reference planes used in some Structures applications.
Publication Based Connections: This entry controls whether
publication based connections will be used when establishing connections
between elements in different work packages. When this flag is on (the
value in the Location field is 1), the system will use publication based
link technology. This link technology is intended to improve support for
configuration management, revision management and concurrent engineering.
When working in an ENOVIA environment, publication based connections are
used for all cross document connections, regardless of the setting of this
resource.
Reference Grid System: Location of the CATPart that contains the
reference grid definition used by applications. You need to modify this
entry if you change the location of the CATPart or rename it.
Report Definitions: Usually preceded by an application name, such
as Hanger. The formats (definitions) you create for running reports are
stored in this directory.
Report Expressions: The location of the directory where
expressions are stored. If the value of the Visible field is Yes - which
is the default at application level - then expressions are available.
'No' means they are not - this is the default at the discipline level.
You can change these as needed.
Resolved XXX Parts: (XXX is an application name.) When you place
a parametric part in a document it assumes specific dimensions. Once a part
has specific dimensions it is placed in the Resolved Parts catalog. The
location of the default Resolved Parts catalog is listed here.
Schematic Driven: This is a flag that needs to be set for
schematic driven routing and parts placement. If the value of "Location" is
set to 0 then individual users can check or uncheck an option that allows
schematic driven 3D design. If the value is set to 1 then the option
"schematic driven" is always selected and users cannot uncheck it. (In
Equipment Arrangement, schematic driven parts placement is not possible if
the Function Driven flag is set to 2.)
Spec Driven: This flag gives you the option of using the
selected specifications catalog, or not. Change the value in the
"Location" field as follows: 0 - you can control whether or not to be
spec driven during parts placement; 1 - always spec driven during part
placement; 2 - always non-spec driven during part placement.
Specifications Catalog: Usually preceded by an application name,
such as Piping. If you intend to use different resources, which is likely,
then you must enter the new file name and location, as appropriate.
Standards Catalog: Usually preceded by an application name, such
as Piping. If you intend to use different resources, which is likely, then
you must enter the new file name and location, as appropriate.
System Space Reservation Catalog: Enter the location of the
System Space Reservation Catalog in the Location field.
Unique reference file name options: These options let you
customize file names for parts. If you enter 1 in the Location field, then
the application uses the part name displayed in a CATIA window as the
file name. If you enter the value 2, then the application will use the
catalog file name, plus a unique identifier, as the file name.
Unique reference part number options & partially resolved
reference part number options: These two entries define how a placed
part will be named. 'Unique reference' parts are those that have at least
one property (or all properties) that can have infinite values. An HVAC
duct is an example. 'Partially resolved' parts are those in which the
values of all properties are defined by a design table. Valves are an
example. In this entry, if you enter 1 in the Location field then the name
of the placed part will be derived from the design table. If you enter 2
then the name will be derived from the object naming rules.
User Dictionary: Usually preceded by an application name. In the
location field enter the name of the CATfct file for each application. You
do not need to enter the location. The CATfct file is used to store all the
classes and attributes created by you. The default names for CATfct files
in each application are included in the sample project.xml file and you
should use these names unless you have created a different CATfct file, or
changed the default name. There is also a MultiDisciplineUserDictionary -
this CATfct file can be referred to by all applications.
Zones Catalog: The zones that you create need to be stored in a
catalog accessible to all users, because they are shared. The default
location is CATMldZone.catalog. Even though zones are only created in
schematic applications, other applications may use them when documents are
moved from schematic to 3D. Enter a different name or location if you
change them.
