Just as you can map and output CADWorx custom data to the Isogen material list, you can also output the same mapped information to the Isogen reports. This topic explains how to output CADWorx custom data to the Isogen material control file.

The material control file provides information to a material control system.

  1. Open I-Configure, and enable the Isogen project for CADWorx. Make sure that you uncheck the optional styles.

    Leaving these styles selected creates additional styles in the project.

  2. Open Isogen Configuration, and map the custom data as needed. For more information, see Map CADWorx custom data to PCF component attributes.

    In the example, the CADWorx custom data COATING_SPEC is mapped to COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE10.

  3. Click to update the active style file with the new settings.

  4. Navigate to Drawing Manager > Reports.

    The software opens the Reports panel.

  5. Expand Report Types, and then double-click Material control.

    The software opens the Report Definition view so that you can define the format and content of the report.

  6. Specify the output location and file name for the report in the Report Location box.

  7. Specify the columns of attribute data to output in the report, including a column for the coating specification data (COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE10). Optionally, specify a display name for each column of attribute data. For more information, see Define the report layout in the Isogen Configuration User's Guide. You can access this document using the Help > Printable Guides command in Isogen Configuration.

    As you define the report layout, the Preview pane dynamically updates so that you can review the format. The data that displays is only sample data and does not reflect the data that Isogen uses to populate the report during isometric drawing generation.

  8. Click to update the active style file with the new settings.

  9. Return to the CADWorx model.

  10. If needed, apply the custom data to the components, and then generate the isometric drawing.

    During drawing generation, Isogen creates the material control file and includes the specified data.
