Edit Drawing Frame

Use

You can use the AutoCAD attributes to establish a link between the drawing and the SAP fields in the database. « _<0} _{0> Die Attribute verweisen auf Felder im Dokumentinfosatz und werden automatisch mit dem aktuellen Feldinhalt aus dem SAP System versorgt. _<}0{> The attributes reference fields in the document info record, and are supplied automatically with the current field contents from the SAP system. _<0}

This function is typically used in the drawing frame.

Examples of attributes:

Name
Version
Drawing created on; drawing created by
Drawing checked on; checked by
Released on

Definition of Attributes

You can define attributes using the AutoCAD command DDATTDEF, for example. The Day field references an SAP field.

The name can be specified directly or indirectly. If the name is specified directly, it is prescribed by SAP If you want to assign a different name to an attribute, you can use a mapping file called SAPATMAP.INI to do this. A name of your choice is assigned to the SAP field here.

You will find a list of permissible direct names in the mapping file SAPATMAP.INI.

Mark Drawing Headers

AutoCAD command: MARKSAPHEADER

Once a block containing SAP-relevant attributes is inserted, you must mark this block. The command appends an EED "SAPHEADER" to the block reference.

Update Drawing Header

AutoCAD command: UPDATESAPHEADER

This command searches throughout the drawing for a block reference marked as "SAPHEADER".

The SAP document assigned to the drawing is read, and its current values written to the attributes.
