Using Infocards

An infocard is a dialog box that enables you to view/update meta data of documents or files created in AutoCAD. There are three types of infocards, one for documents, one for items and one for files. You can update only those files that you own.

To update documents or files generated from the AutoCAD object that you are working on, proceed as follows:

  1. Select either an assembly or a part from AutoCAD.
  2. From the PLM main menu, select the relevant update option. You can select Update Document or Update File or Update Item. As a result, the relevant update dialog box is displayed.
  3. Make the required changes.
  4. Click Update.

    If the part file whose document or file you want to update is not saved to PLM, a message appears informing you that the selected part does not exist in the PLM database.

    If the part file is not editable because you have no editing rights, the part file is locked by another user, or because the object is released, the infocard dialog box appears in view mode.
