Smart 3D Version
11 (2016)

The software makes it possible to create and customize the rules for naming. The process of customizing naming rules is similar to the process for customizing the symbols. For more information, see the "Visual Basic Symbols" section in the Symbols Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

The main difference between distributing new symbols and distributing new naming rules is the point at which the check for new naming rules is made. Each time the Catalog database is modified through a bulkload operation, the software checks for new naming rules in the CAB files. Just integrating the naming rule dll into a CAB file is insufficient, as clients do not look for it; a bulkload operation that modifies the Catalog is required.

Version 2016 (V11) is the last version to support .CAB files. Version 2018 (V12) will not support .CAB files.

You can specify cab file information in the Solver Prog ID column on the Naming Rules sheet in the GenericNamingRules.xls workbook. The Solver Prog ID must be in the following format: <ProgID>|<CAB file location>. An example is Pipeline.UserPipeline|Pipeline.CAB, where the Pipeline.CAB file is delivered in the \\<ComputerName>\Symbols folder.
