TN15: Use of filters to produce selective export

BG  Scope: Web  By:  
Applies To: SolidWorks2CATIA
 
Products like SolidWorks2CATIA allow to produce several CATIA files based on a filter on attributes.
 
To set this attribute you need to manually edit the registry:
 
  • to enter the registry: from the [Start] menu in the lower left side of the screen choose "Run" and type: regedit
  • Open the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key and navigate to Software\RadialSoft\SldCATIAWrite . Theses keys should exist if the product is correctly installed.
  • Using the edit menu create a string value called FilterAttribute and set the name of attribute you want to use let say "MyAttribute"
When this value is et the system will export the complete assembly (let say MyAssembly) in distinct CATIA files MyAssembly_xxx.
 
How the filtering is done:
 
The input assembly is scanned from top level to bottom level. Whenever an assembly or a part or a instance carry the given attribute it is compared with current value. If this value is equal the part, sub assembly is taken completely even if it contains sub models with a different value of the attribute. A first pass is made and collect all sub models with no such attribute set at any level. This pass is also the occasion to gather the possible values of the attribute.
