Process selection for StandAlone parts

[Masibanda-CE]

I tried to create a process selection to grab only Standalone parts (all or selected) by adding a line to the DetailProcessSelection table that contained this text:

SELECTIONSET STANDALONEPARTS

I was being very optimistic 🙂

It didn't work. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?

you could add the filter for the step (I would create a complete new process, to do it without selection of something):

Function checkElement(Obj)
    checkElement = False    
var=obj.standalone
if var= "true"
then checkElement= true
else
end if   
End Function

Thanks @Sebastian_Eiche , that's going to be a useful filter. It doesn't quite suite the needs here though. We use a specific prototype for Standalone parts so really need them filtered out PRIOR to the mapping. That way they are selected before the Filename selector settings are applied.

Hmmm...

New process for standalone parts with an extra new prototype with the filter should build your wishes.

You need the default for only create mainpart details for standalone parts. 

If you have different standalone parts with different prototypes then I would create more than one process. And in the end you maybe have 5 processes just for different standalone parts, then I would create use the process style manager (not sure how it's called in the English version). Not the process manager, the command right of this in the ribbon.

In this manager you could set a step for these 5 processes to run after each other.

So the result is: one button for running 5 processes with different detail styles+different prototypes and so on.

Hi,

I agree with @Sebastian_Eiche. Make a separate process for each required drawing type. Then the command Sebastian is referring to is "Drawing Process Suite" in the UK version.
