Creating Global Rules

In the 3DEXPERIENCE Integration Rules Editor, 3DEXPERIENCE users can create global rules that apply to all non-sub-typed parts and assemblies.

To create a global rule:

  1. To open the Editor, click Tools > Options > System Options > 3DEXPERIENCE Integration > 3DEXPERIENCE Integration Rules Editor.
  2. In the dialog box, on the Parts or Assemblies tab, under Sub-typing rules:
    1. Select Enable a global rule for all non-sub-typed parts or assemblies.
      Row 0 (the default) is hidden and row 1 appears. The Edit and Delete tools are unavailable because you cannot change the sub-type rule definition of a global rule.
      The global rule is always row 1.
    2. In the table, under ID, click the 1.
      The bottom section of the dialog box expands for you to specify configuration mapping rules for the global rule.
    3. Specify the configuration mapping rules for the global rule and click OK.
      The software stores the global rule in the .XML file at the location specified in the System Options dialog box for 3DEXPERIENCE Integration Rules Folder.
    If you select this option and invoke the Update for 3DEXPERIENCE Compatibility command, the system applies all user-defined sub-typing rules. Parts or assemblies that were not included in the defined sub-typing rules use the configuration-mapping logic defined in the global rule. If you clear the global rule, such parts or assemblies use the default logic for configuration mapping.
