Agile SDK working with Design objects

SDK support for Agile PLM's Engineering Collaboration(EC) module -Agile PLM's EC module is used to manage computer assisted design(CAD) data in Agile PLM.

Agile PLM's Designs class and Design objects subclass support EC/PLM integration.

Objects created in this subclass have many of the same properties of File folder.

Working with Design Objects

A Design object is a business object that specifies one or more URLs or files stored in Agile PLM's File Management Server.It contains information about the binary files attached to it.Similar to other Agile PLM business objects，Design objects appear in Agile PLM's class hierarchy as a separate base class.

Design class object are used with Agile PLM's Engineering Collaboration (EC) module which is used to manage CAD data in Agile PLM.Objects created in this class have many of the same properties ad behaviors of File folders . Users with administrator privileges enable opening and working with Design object in Java Client and Agile PLM users can the access and work exclusively with these objects in Web Client.

 

Agile SDK support the following Design object-releated functions:

   Managing (adding ,removing,getting,and editing)version specific Relationships between two Design objects.

   Using where-used qureies for Design object deployments in Agile PLM Class structures.For information about where-used qureies,see Creating a Where-Used Query on page 60

 

Adding and Loading Design Objects

To create or get an IDesign object,you can use IAgileSession.CreateObject() or IAgileSession.getObject().

The following examples show the different methods provided by the SDK to create and get Design objects.

Example: Creating a Design by class name

IDesign des=(IDesign)m_session.createObject("Design","DESIGN00133");

Example:Creating a Design by class ID

IDesign des =(IDesign)m_session.CreatObject(FileFolderConstants.CLASS_DESIGN,"DESIGN00133");

Example:Creating a Design by IAgileClass reference:

IDesign des=(IDesign)m_session.creatObject(desClass,"DESIGN00133"）；

Example:Loading a Design object

IDesign des=(IDesign)m_session.getObject(IDesign.OBJECT_TYPE,"DESIGN00133");
