2. In $WT_HOME\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\cadx\cfg\site\autoassociate.ini,
modify the entry under [General] to read as follows:

Modifying the CAD Document IBA Value
In $WT_HOME\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\cadx\cfg\site\autoassociate.ini, the
default implementation specifies the following:
SearchForPartAttribute=PARTNUMBER
where PARTNUMBER is an attribute of the CAD document that is read
programmatically to get the number of the part to be searched for. You can
modify the attribute by doing the following:
1. Create a new attribute (for example, MYATTRIBUTE) in Windchill using the
Attribute Manager.
Note: The attribute must be in upper case.
2. In $WT_HOME\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\cadx\cfg\site\autoassociate.ini,
modify the entry under [General] to read as follows:
[General]
SearchForPartAttribute=MYATTRIBUTE
3. Restart the method server.
Modifying the Implementation to Search for Customized Parts or Custom Parts
When performing searches, the default implementation is to search for a WTPart.
Note: When you create a customized part, its master must be WTPartMaster or a
subclass of WTPartMaster. The customized part itself must be a WTPart or a
subclass of WTPart.
To customize the implementation to search for a customized part (for example,
wt.part.MyCustomPartMaster), do the following:
1. In $WT_HOME\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\cadx\cfg\site\autoassociate.ini,
modify the entry under [General] to read as follows:
[General]
SearchPartMasterClass= wt.part.MyCustomPartMaster
