Marrying Files Together

Our parent company allows us access to their files. When I download a .TAR file from their site, I get the following:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Tar File.jpg
Views:	456
Size:	22.0 KB
ID:	797

I can open the .mi files independently, but how do I marry these files together, to get a drawing with a title block.


Bill

Re: Marrying Files Together

First, you need to load the frame.mi file as the frame for a new drawing. You can register it in your am_customize file with the docu-register-frame command. Example:
Code:
(docu-register-frame
	:ui-name "MyFrameName"
	:wm-name "" 
	:file (format nil "path/frame.mi")
	:default :everytime)
Then, load the drawing.mi file into your Annotation session. In the Drawing menu, change the Frame and choose MyFrameName (or whatever you named it).

That should do it. Someone else may have a more elegant way to do this, though.

Re: Marrying Files Together

The screen shot of the TAR file contents looks a little bit like a 'piece' out of the CoCreate(?) database. Those files are normally invisible to end users.

Delete your current drawing (have an empty AM Viewport) and just drag and drop the drawing.MI file into your AM viewport.

If you prepare the frame as May suggested, you will see the frame border and a titleblock. You will not get the top newest information in the title block. These information are stored in the cn.csl and doc.csl file. If your Annotation module directly would use ModelManager/DataDesignManagment to get the drawing out of the database all these things would be done for you automatically. But to fill the contents of the 'separate' CSL files into your drawing.. I think there's no command available for.

Re: Marrying Files Together

What about the part.csl file which has the frame text information for the part?

Re: Marrying Files Together

Hi Bill,

just of my mind...

part.csl is the master data (from database of view) of the drawing
doc.csl the document data
cn.csl the change notes

all together fill the titleblock via text reference (depending on the customization of the title block, of course.

If you are only interested in the VIEWS of the mode, just loading drawing.mi should be enough.
