Applying the mapping rules
For the mapping rules to take effect after you define or update them in the Infor PLM
Discrete as described previously, you must first disconnect and reconnect your CAD application
to PLM.
The mapping then takes place depending on the rules that you set up. In the example in Defining the mapping rules, the mapping takes place when you:
- Save to PLM
- If the file is new and has not been saved to PLM, you must save the file to PLM to apply the mapping. Once the mapping is applied, you can select Update Item, Update Document or Update File from the PLM menu to see the mapped values. For further information, see Using Infocard Option.
- To edit the files, use the info card options: Update Item, Update Document or Update File.
Note: If a source or a target "attribute" defined in a mapping rule does
not exist for the part file you are working with, the following takes place when you save the
part file to PLM:
- For other mapping rules, the "attribute" mapping is omitted without displaying a warning message.
