Setting the Workspace Date Format
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire recommends that the cadxhtmlui.ini setting
ShortDateFormat1=4 be used to set an appropriate workspace column width and
avoid possible display issues. The date format used can be customized by
modifying entries in section [general] of the cadxhtmlui.ini file as follows:
[general]
DefaultDateFormat =ShortDateFormat1
Setting the above entry sets the date format as in 15 Mar 02 13:25. Please note that
the value in the above key-value pair comes from the section [dateformat] in the
same file, which means that if the date format expected is 3/15/02 1:25 PM, then
the value of DefaultDateFormat should be set as follows:
DefaultDateFormat = ShortDateFormat2.
Users may not modify the key-value pairs in the [dateformat] section unless they
customize wt.util.utilResource_.rbInfo to add more date formats than the
out-of-the-box date formats. In such a case, the new entries to be added to the
[dateformat] section should follow the pattern outlined below:
1. Create a key of your choice, for example, customDateFormat.
2. Set the value of this key to the resource key from the utilResource.rbInfo file
(for example, if you created a date format called “myDateFormat” in
wt.util.utilResource_.rbInfo). (For more information on this kind of
customization, see the Windchill Customizer’s Guide). For example:
100.constant= myDateFormat
100.value=dd-MM-yy
The entry in section [dateformat] of cadxhtmlui.ini will be as follows:
;Date format as "dd-MM-yy".
;Check "myDateFormat” key in
wt.util.utilResource_.rbInfo for exact locale
specific format
;For example, 03/12/02
customDateFormat=100
The entry in section [general] of cadxhtmlui.ini will be as follows:
DefaultDateFormat =customDateFormat
Mapping Pro/ENGINEER Parameters to Windchill Instance-Based Attributes
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire lets you map Pro/ENGINEER designated parameters
onto Windchill instance-based attributes (IBAs). Attribute mapping transfers
parametric information from the CAD models created in Pro/ENGINEER to the
Windchill system. The attribute mapping can be done as follows:
• Explicit parameter-to-attribute mapping
• Implicit parameter-to-attribute mapping
