Auto Update of Objects

[tyler.moore]

Hey People,

First time poster. I have been off 8.6 for a while and am having some troubles remebering the customizations i did a while back. This has to do with modifiying relationships and 2D3D tables to automatically change to the proper item when selecting a line number. Right now the designers still have to manually pick the servies, size, spec. This is not a good way of doing things as this leaves way to many options for user error.

For example

SW-40001

SW (service)

40001 (2 items making up line number)

How do I get the service to automatically change in the 3D app to reflect the service registered in the process table under PSERV?

We also had it so the main size, spec, insulation attributes all updated with the line number.

I know you have to modify the 2D3D tables and add the relationships but I am sure I am missing a step.

Thanks everyone that can help

I am not sure what you are trying to do. I passed the info on to a friend who is pretty good at this sort of thing. Hope to hear back from him soon!

It is controlled by the FEILDMAP2D3D Table, I have attached a screen dump of the default values from the XM Sample Metric Project

The Component Preferences Automatically updates like you want out of the box for XM :)
