In a CADWorx project, you can use custom data mapping to map CADWorx revision information to the Isogen Revision attribute.

You use the CADWorx Specification Editor to create your custom data. For detailed information about creating and using custom data, see the CADWorx Spec Editor User's Guide, available with the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

  1. Open I-Configure and enable the Isogen project for CADWorx. Make sure you uncheck the optional styles.

    SHARED Tip Leaving these styles selected creates additional styles in the project.

  2. Open .

    Isogen Configuration opens and displays the Home screen.

  3. Select Attribute Mappings in the CADWorx category tile.

    The software switches to the Configuration view and displays the contents of the Attribute Mappings panel.

  4. Expand Component Attribute Mapping, and then click Show Collapse ICP to open the Component Attribute Map data grid.

  5. Map the CADWorx custom data field to the PCF Revision attribute. For more information, see Map CADWorx custom data to PCF component attributes.

    In the example, the CADWorx custom data field was named REV_STATUS when it was created in the Specification Editor. All custom data names and properties are user-specified.

  6. Navigate to Drawing Area.Revision Clouds.

    The software displays the contents of the Revision Clouds panel.

  7. Expand Settings, and set Enabled to True.

  8. Set any additional properties, such as layer or enclosure style, as needed.

  9. When finished, click Save to update the active style file with the new settings.

  10. Return to the CADWorx model.

  11. Use the Isogen Project Data Setup dialog box to tell Isogen which revision identifier to cloud on the isometric drawing. In the example, the current Project Revision is A.

  12. Assign the new revision status to the affected components, and then generate the drawing.

    During drawing generation, Isogen automatically clouds any component in the model that is assigned the A revision identifier, thereby highlighting all Revision A components.
