Multiple catalog attributes

I just spent about 1/2 hour trying to find the list.

I thought that there was a list describing the which attributes where available.

 

I am aware of (where ##  = 01-99)

MFG##

CAT##

UM##

CNT##

ITEM##

WDBLKNAM##

 

Does anyone have a list of the rest?

I came across a list but not in the help and I think you can maybe get and idea from it.

Jeff,

 

Looks like I was only missing the ASSYCODE and I never use that.

 

Thanks!

Hi I notice the original question from testsubject and JeffatPrimex reply but i am still having problems.

 

What I need to do is lets say I got multiple catalogue data and lets say

my 02 has a textvalue with the following RATING10=M12 BK;RATING11=MIR-10M12N;RATING12=EPN350/M12

 

What kind of attribute i need to create in the symbol editor to refer to these contents ?

I have try RATING0210/RATING210/RATING110/RATING10/RATING1210/RATING10210 but nothing picks up the se contents from 02

 

If you need more info please let me knowCapture.PNG

As far as I know there are only 12 ratings available and Texvalues is in the form Rating=Value so your attributes would be Rating1 thru Rating12

 

Best regards,

Jeff

we got a catalogue from 0-99.
lets say 02 from the 99 has an item.
That specific item has a textvalue.

How do i refer to the textvalue of 02 ?

As far as I know, the items I listed are the only fields that can be pulled from the database.

And even then, you can only go one deep.

Lets say 1st level is 01.

I can see the CAT01 {displayed as MIR-10M16N} 

 

I can also see level 02 and CAT02

So why I cannot see the respective RATING fields of 02 but i can though see its respective CAT02 field ?

Just so we have the "tree" properly called out, the Main part number is level 01 and all Multi-catalog parts (01-99) are level 02 for the nesting of fields.

 

The Level 01 attributes do not have a number associated with them: 

 

MFG

CAT

UM

CNT

ITEM

WDBLKNAM
ASSYCODE

 

There are only 7 fields in the data base that are accessible from the Level 02 part:

MFG##

CAT##

UM##

CNT##

ITEM##

WDBLKNAM##
ASSYCODE##

 

Where ## represents the level 02 multi-catalog part number from (01-99).

As far as I know, there are no other Level 02 fields that can be accessed via the TEXTVALUE field in the Level 01 part.

Also, Level 02 is as deep as the nesting goes. So, if you have a level 02 part that has information in its TEXTVALUE field, this information cannot be pulled into the Level 01 part.

 

Now, that is not to say that maybe you could write a program (LISP) that might be able to do this but that is way above my expertise.
