The value of the Save Manager toolbar preferences listed below may change based on its setting and user selection.
For example, if the value of a preference is false, indicating the toolbar button is not active by default thus requiring user intervention, i.e, the user must select the button manually to perform the operation, the value of the preference changes from false to true when the button is selected. Once the preference changes to true, it remains set to true for all future operations.
Automatically assign item and revision IDs during the save mode selection (true). Do not automatically assign item and revision IDs (false).
CATIA_savemanager_auto_assign_item_rev_ids = false
The default value is false.
The Check-in after Save button is active/selected by default when this preference is set to true and a check-in is performed on items saved. When false, the buttonis inactive/unselected and requires manual selection to check in items after the save process is performed.
CATIA_checkIn_option = true
Set CATIA_cico_ask_confirmation_action_from_ui to true to display the Check-in / Check-out panel containing the OK button and require user interaction to start the action. Set it to false to prevent the display of Check-in / Check-out panel and start the action without user interaction. The Check-in/Check-out panel always displays. even when this preference is set to false if errors occur.
CATIA_cico_ask_confirmation_action_from_ui = true
The default value is true.
The Compute Mass Properties button is active/selected by default when this preference is set to true and mass properties are always computed. When false, the buttonis inactive/unselected and requires manual selection to compute mass properties.
CATIA_computeGeometry_option = false
The default value is true.
The Compute Geometry for Main Body button is active/selected by default when this preference is set to true and mass properties for the main body are always computed. When false, the button is inactive/unselected and requires manual selection to compute mass properties for the main body.
CATIA_compute_geometry_for_main_body = false
The default value is false.
This preference applies to Material and Compute Mass Properties when the CATIA_save_material and CATIA_save_mass_properties are set to true.
This preference is not applied during the calculation of surrounding volume (available when the CATIA_part_bounding_box_calculation_2 is true). Bounding box values always include the bounding box values of all bodies of the part.
The Convert to JT button is active/selected by default when this preference is set to true and JT conversion is automatically performed. When false, the button is inactive/unselected and requires manual selection to perform JT conversion.
CATIA_createJT_option = true
The default value is false.
When the Create JT option has been changed in the Save Manager, set the CATIA_do_not_record_user_action preference to jt to reset the CATIA_createJT_option to its previous value after each save. This ensures that subsequent saves do not create a JT unnecessarily and the next save process executes with the value of CATIA_createJT_option.
CATIA_do_not_record_user_action = jt
This preference is empty, by default.
Indicate the default folder location where the items are created in the database. The value of this preference can be a directory name, folder UID or NONE. Item revisions are not saved under a directory in the database when the value of this preference is NONE.
When the preference is set with a directory name, the corresponding folder UID is selected in the Save Manager.
If several folders are found, then the first one is used.
If no folders are found, then the item is saved in newstuff (default value).
If a different folder is selected in the Save Manager, then the folder UID is set in the preference.
CATIA_savemanager_default_folder = newstuff
The default value is newstuff.
The Save Manager title area can display additional information related to the current Teamcenter connection (User, Group, Role) Current Project Name and CATIA environment. Define the title pattern displayed on the Save Manager panel using the string below. When this preference is empty, no additional information displays.
{0} = user
{1} = group
{2} = role
{3} = name of the current CATIA environment
{4} = current project name
CATIA_ui_title_format = ({0}–{1}/{2} [{4}] [{3}])
The default value is ({0} – {1} / {2} [{4}] [{3}]) which displays as user-group / role [current project name] [name of current CATIA environment].
This preference is used for the title of the Save Manager panel, Spreadsheet Editor panel and the State Details panel.
Set CATIA_savemanager_hideshow_option to true to toggle on the Hide/Show button in the Save Manager Panel so that Hide/Show attributes are automatically saved during Save As process.
Set it to false (default) so that the Hide/Show button in the Save Manager Panel is not automatically toggled. In this case, the Hide/Show button on the Save Manager Panel must be manually toggled.
CATIA_savemanager_hideshow_option = true
The default value is false.
The Save Active Shapes button is active/selected by default when this preference is set to true and are always saved. When false, the buttonis inactive/unselected and requires manual selection to save active shapes.
CATIA_saveActiveShapeName = true
The default value is false.
Active Shape Representations are saved during the import process of an assembly opened in a CATIA session when this preference is set to true.
The Force Save button is active/selected by default when this preference is set to false and the save is performed even when items are not modified in CATIA compared to the Teamcenter item version. When true, the buttonis inactive/unselected and requires manual selection to force the save process to be performed on unmodified items.
CATIA_saved_modified_file_option = false
The default value is true.
Set this preference to true to only save modified files or to false to save both modified and unmodified files.
Use CATIA_savemanager_unmodifiable_assigned_attr_list to define an attribute list that cannot be modified once attributes are assigned in the Save Manager.
This preference is taken into account in the Save Manager
but not in the Spreadsheet Editor.
Unmodifiable assigned attributes are grayed out in the Save Manager.
Before assigned, attributes can be assigned using the Magic Wand, the Assign button or they can be manually edited.
CATIA_savemanager_unmodifiable_assigned_attr_list = ItemRevMaster
There is no default value.
The attribute list must adhere to the naming format: keyword.attributename. The attributename should be the attribute real name.
For example, Item.item_id; ItemRev.item_revision_id
| Attribute | Keyword |
|---|---|
| Item | Item |
| Item Revision | ItemRev |
| Item Master Form | ItemMaster |
| Item Revision Master Form | ItemRevMaster |
