Attribute format restrictions
To enable you to define mapping rules, the PLM attributes and the Creo attributes must have the same format or must have a conversion in order to facilitate the following matches:
| String | + | ||||
| Integer | + | + (*) | + (*) | ||
| Date | + | + (*) | |||
| Real | + | + (*) | |||
+ (*) According to regional settings.
The target attribute must be of type string if more than one attribute is mapped to this attribute. The target PLM attribute to which Creo dimensions are mapped is of type string, because the value and the unit must be concatenated to a string. The target PLM attribute in a Creo file-specific rule can have no other general mapping.
- Creo
- Attributes from the group can only be mapped to PLM item attributes. The reason is, because configuration specific attributes have different values for each configuration, these values must be mapped to the item representing a particular configuration and not to the document that describes all configurations for a particular assembly.
- Relationships
- You can map one Creo attribute to one PLM attribute, one Creo attribute to many PLM attributes, or many Creo attributes to one PLM attribute.
