Applying the mapping rules

For the mapping rules to take effect after you define or update them in the PLM Administrative Console as described previously, you must first disconnect and reconnect Creo 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 Item, Document or File from the PLM menu to see the mapped values. For further information, see Using infocards.

  • Use the Infocard options: Item, Document or File.
  • Edit the files.
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 file-specific and configuration-specific mapping rules, the missing source or target attribute is created.
  • For other mapping rules, the attribute mapping is omitted without displaying a warning message.
