1.2.5.2.1. Example 1: Set import path via “pdmProxyPdmDocumentI“

A small example of setting the import path of an item (using pdmProxyPdmDocumentI).

Create a VBS filter node directly after the conversion service (i.e. before the converter has run ). Set VBS file (plugin_template.vbs) and VB Class (_AfterConversion).

VBS filter node

Node Editor

Open the VBS script

Go to the function „AfterConversion“

Add the following lines of code:

dim docProp = item.GetPropertiesObject()
dim pathProp = Application.GetObject("pdmProxies.ObjectFactory").createPdmProxiesObject
 ("pdmProxyPropertyObjectC", "Testpath/test")
pathProp.setType("STRING")
docProp.setProperty("path",pathProp)

Explanations:

Get the root properties object (Return value pdmProxyAttributeContainerC)
```
dim docProp = item.GetPropertiesObject()
```

Create new pdmProxyPropertyObjectC & setValue and Type

dim pathProp = Application.GetObject("pdmProxies.ObjectFactory").
 createPdmProxiesObject("pdmProxyPropertyObjectC", "Testpath/test")

pathProp.setType("STRING")

Add pdmProxyPropertyObjectC to pdmProxyAttributeContainerC
```
docProp.setProperty("path",pathProp)
```

The converter.vbs (executed during AttributeMapper ) converts the attribute path into a classification of the product.

In classification:

   "Name": "path",
   "Group": "document",
   "Value": {
                  "Text": "Testpath/test"
   },
                  "Id": "path"
   },

Edit the structure node in PARTdataCenter

Document path [Document Path] $document::path.
(Group: document; Name: path --> see Classification PARTdataCenter)

Additional information

Depending on the function used in the code, the appropriate group must be selected in the structure node.

Example from Script:

dim docProp = item.GetPropertiesObject() -->

Mapping of functions to groups:

GetPropertiesObject()	--> document
GetFileProperties()	--> file
GetCadAttributes()	--> cad
GetCadDimensions()	--> dimension
GetPdmAttributes()	--> pdm
GetCustomAttributes()	--> custom
