Stamping Drawings with User Names or Email Addresses (2025 FD03)

3DEXPERIENCE users can stamp drawings using extended attributes for user names or email addresses that display in 3DPlay.

Benefits: You can use trigrams for efficient use of space. Having email addresses makes it useful to contact the stakeholders in the drawing release process.

When you open a SOLIDWORKS drawing in 3DPlay and it has PLM or extended attributes, you can preview those properties as annotations. In 3DPlay, you can display the user names or email addresses of the users who participated in the drawing release process. The stamped information is also visible in the .pdf file-derived output.

To stamp drawings with user names or email addresses:
  1. In a SOLIDWORKS drawing, add annotations that reference the following PLM properties:
    ea_releasedby_name User who performed the release process.
    ea_createdby_name User who created the drawing.
    ea_changestatusby_mail User who performed the maturity change.
    ea_releasedby_mail Email address of the user who performed the release process.
    ea_createdby_mail Email address of the user who created the drawing.
    ea_chansestatusby_mail Email address of the user who performed the maturity change.
  2. Save the drawing to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to register the attributes.
  3. In SOLIDWORKS, rebuild the drawing to ensure the annotations display correctly.
  4. In MySession, use the Change Action or Change Status command to update the state of the drawing, such as In Work, Frozen, Released, or Obsolete.
    You must have the CHG - Change management role to access the Change Action command.
  5. In 3DPlay or any supported web viewer, open the drawing to see the updated annotations and verify that the information is accurate.
