Project resources are typically managed by system administrators. Typically this involves entering information such as folder paths for resources, like user dictionaries such as the feature dictionary, without which the application cannot function. What administrators enter will be visible in the Browse tab of the Project Resource Management dialog box (Tools > Project Management > Select/Browse), but it cannot be changed there.
Note: The following resources mentioned above are no longer used or are for
internal use only:
DpmStrChamferAngleTable
DpmStrMBOMtoXMLLocation
StructureDrawingSymbolsCatalog
To make sure all the required and optional resources are correct in the PRM file, use the PRM Checker command under Tools > Project Management. Then click Apply in the dialog box that opens. The results are displayed in the same dialog box.
A sample project resource management file is provided and by default, the application will start with this file. The resources managed in this file are described below.
DpmStrDrwTemplateLocation: specifies the location of all drawing
templates (CATDrawing and XSL files). Template CATDrawings containing the title
block and specifying the drawing standard applied (such as ANSI or ISO) as well
as the sheet format are provided. The name of each drawing template is defined
in the corresponding workshop document style XML file.
The default location for this resource is:
..\OS\startup\sample\WDExtraction
DpmStrWDSaveLocation: specifies the location in which all
extracted workshop documents are to be saved.
The default location for this resource is: C:\Temp
DpmStrGVSSymbolsCatalog: specifies a sample catalog containing
GVS drawing symbols.
The default location for this catalog is:
..\OS\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\Manufacturing\DrawingSymbols\GenerativeViewStyle_2DSymbols.catalog
ProfileFabricationSketchSymbolsCatalog: specifies the catalog
containing the drawing symbols for straight profile drawings.
The default location for this catalog is:
..\OS\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\Manufacturing\DrawingSymbols\ProfileFabricationSketch_2DSymbols.catalog
StructureResourcesCatalog: specifies a catalog containing
descriptions (and links to parts) of manufacturing resources such as Pin Jigs.
The default location for this catalog is:
..\OS\startup\components\StructuralCatalogs\ManufacturingCatalogs\ManufacturingCatalog.catalog
DpmStrGenerativeViewStyle: This GVS resource file is the main repository for storing graphic properties of all standard or user-defined types and sub-types. All workshop documents will use this file for graphic properties. The default location for this resource is:
..\OS\resources\standard\generativeparameters\SAMPLES\DPMStructure_GVSSample.xml
All other properties related to the other various workshop documents are in
different XML style files. These files are located in:
..\OS\resources\standard\generativeparameters\SAMPLES\nameOfWDStyleFilewhere
nameOfWDStyleFile is the name of the
workshop document XML style file.
DpmStrFabSketchPlateStyle: specifies the full path of the XML
file defining the style used for plate workshop documents. This file contains
general drawing options and generative view style parameters. The workshop
document generated is a CATDrawing of scale 'Fit to paper'.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_PlateStyle.xml
Note: If you want to generate plate workshop documents in DXF format,
use the sample XML file located in ..\OS\startup\sample\WDExtraction.
This file will generate plate workshop documents with a scale of 1:1.
DpmStrTemplateFabSketchPlateStyle: specifies the full path of the
XML file defining the style used for template sketches. This file contains
general drawing options only. There are no generative view style parameters for
template sketches.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_TemplateStyle.xml
DpmStrProfileStraightDrwStyle: specifies the full path of the XML
file defining the style used for straight profile fabrication sketches. This
file contains general drawing options and generative view style parameters.
The name of the style XML file is
FabSketchDocument_ProfileStyle.xml
DpmStrInverseBendingDataStyle: specifies the full path of the XML
file defining the style used for inverse bending curve data. This file contains
the name of the XSL stylesheet used to generate the XML file.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_IBCStyle.xml
DpmStrPinJigDataStyle: specifies the full path of the XML file
defining the style used for pin jig data. This file contains the name of the
XSL stylesheet used to generate the XML file.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_PJDStyle.xml
DpmStrPinJigDrgStyle: specifies the full path of the XML file
defining the style used for pin jig resource sketches. This file contains
general drawing options and generative view style parameters.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_PinJigDrgStyle.xml
DpmStrGirthTapeDataStyle: specifies the full path of the XML file
defining the style used for girth table data. This file contains the name of
the XSL stylesheet used to generate the XML file.
The name of the workshop document XML file is
FabSketchDocument_GTDStyle.xml
DpmStrGirthTapeDrgStyle: specifies the full path of the XML file
defining the style used for girth table resource sketches. This file contains
general drawing options and generative view style parameters.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_GirthTapeDrgStyle.xml
DpmStrProfileXMLDataStyle: specifies the full path of the XML
file defining the style used for profile data. This file contains the name of
the XSL stylesheet used to generate the XML file.
The name of the style XML file is FabSketchDocument_ProfileXMLStyle.xml
DpmStrMarginSizeTable: specifies the design table containing
possible margin thicknesses (positive or negative). This file is accessed when
user clicks the Design table icon in Joining Activity's Added Material tab.
The default location for this resource is:
..\OS\startup\components\StructuralCatalogs\ThicknessTables\MarginListSample.txt
DpmStrEdgePrepCatalog: specifies the catalog containing
definitions of edge preparation UDFs.
The default location for this resource is:
..\OS\startup\FeatureCatalogs\Edge_Preparation.catalog
DpmStrEdgePrepTable: specifies the design table used during automatic generation of edge preparations when building the activity list. This table contains the different edge preparations to be used for each weld (e.g., butt-butt between 20mm plates) and their values. Entries for the plates and profiles used in a given project must be defined in this file to support the automatic generation of edge preparations.
The default location for this resource is:
..\OS\startup\components\StructuralCatalogs\ManufacturingCatalogs\Edge_PreparationSample.txt
DpmStrEdgePrepValuesTable: specifies the design table containing
all the possible values for the edge preparation UDFs. This file is used with
the previous one (DpmStrEdgePrepTable).
The default location for this resource is:
..\OS\startup\components\StructuralCatalogs\ManufacturingCatalogs\Edge_Preparation_ValuesSample.txt
