1.5.2.4.2.1. Single nodes

The Custom algorithm node is used if no suitable node exists for the desired action. In this way, special tasks can be completed with little effort.

To do this, use the Custom algorithm node in the Available filters docking window under Transformation.

Example: You want to remove the file extension from the document name.

  1. Drag the Custom Algorithm [Custom algorithm] node into the pipeline between Conversion and Attribute Mapper [AttributeMapper] (in this case).

    The example pipeline shown here was created with the PLM Synchro Wizard.

  2. Select the node.

  3. Drag the required "blocks" into the node editor [Node Editor]. These are User-defined input, Substring and Attribute output [Attribute Output].

  4. Via double-click on the respective element, open the corresponding dialog.

    • User-defined input: Input is the document name.

      Configure Custom Input

      Configure Custom Input

    • Substring: An operation is to be performed on a substring.

      The setting in the following figure means:

      Use substring from the beginning to last occurrence before the dot.

      Assembly.iam" then becomes "Assembly".

      Configure substring [Substring]

      Configure substring [Substring]

    • Output attribute [Attribute Output]: A target classification [Target Classification] and a target attribute [Target Attribute] are assigned to the output.

      Configure output attribute [Attribute Output]

      Configure output attribute [Attribute Output]
