5.8.2.1.14.1.  CIP catalog

In order to make catalogs available for download from the Internet, for example, these can be cipped, in other words reduced in data size. The conditions needed to be fulfilled can be entered in the CIP catalog window.

On the left side of the window you can see a Catalogs column. There you will find all previously cipped catalogs.

All checked directories are cipped by clicking on the Generate button.

Automatic Classification of standardized Parts

When a new release CIP is generated via PARTproject, also a scanner is running during this process in order to identify and classify all kind of standardized parts. Explicitly all NNs and NTs are checked whether they contain one of the below listed keywords followed by a number like “123”, etc.: If this is the case, the project is automatically assigned in the Standards classification of found Standard project's class. Projects of this sort are marked with the Standards icon in PARTdataManager.

3-digit Keywords:

DIN, ISO, ANSI B, NF E, VDI, UNI, NAS, NASM, BSI, ASNA, JIS, CSN, STN, GOST, JB/T, NIHS

2-digit Keywords:

EN, SN, LN, AN, SN, BS, IS, KS, GB, PN, GB, MS, VG

Especially within the 2-digit keywords there is unfortunately a high rate of mistakes and wrong classifications, because e.g. „Rohrbogen 90°“ is recognized as a en 90 (an "Euro Standard”). Wrong classifications like this can be sorted out by inserting a „NO“ into the respective field in PARTproject under tabbed page General -> menu item General -> Similar to standard parts (optional) and then regenerating the catalog. Classifications have to be checked from time to time regularly.

[Note]Note

A manual entry of a Standard classification leads to the same result as the automatic search.

The icon does not become visible at once. The field is read during the CIP generation when the catalog is published. In the course of this it will be checked whether the value fits into the Standards classification and if yes, the project is added in the Standards classification. When now installing the generated CIP, the icon is displayed.

When using an ERP integration, directories and projects can be colored based on certain rules in addition. Information on this can be found under Section 4.7.3, “ Create and configure roles ” in PARTsolutions - Administration Manual.
