You can find basic information for all configuration files (file extension ".cfg") under PARTadmin -> Configuration files category -> Brief information [Short description] dialog area. For some configuration files, further information is displayed in the Documentation dialog area to explain more complex relationships, which is summarized in this chapter. Configuration files for controlling the ERP integration are usually referenced at Chapter 4, Strategic Parts Management . Configuration files for the CAD interfaces are referenced at Section 2.3, “CAD specific information”.
