To get a new attribute to display in the header of a template, you must make a change there as well. The attribute must be picked up from the Part info and displayed on the top of the sheet, or as part of the Template header, as shown below:

  1. Navigate to the empty.sha file. By default, this file is located in the [Product Folder]\SharedContent\StructManufacturing\SMS_SCHEMA folder.

  2. Clear the Read-only property on the file so that you can save your changes.

  3. Open empty.sha with shape2DServer. By default, this utility is located in the [Product Folder]\ Common2D\Shape2D\Bin folder.

  4. Double-click the grey empty field on the lower right.

  5. Type My Attribute.

  6. Select the white text box directly below My Attribute.

  7. Right-click, and select Properties.

    The Text Box Properties dialog box displays.

  8. Change Name to SMS_PART_INFO||My_Attribute.

  9. Click OK to close the dialog box and save the file.

  10. Reload a manufacturing plate part to see the new value.

You can edit an existing part XML file and put in a default value as a quick test. This works even if the new attribute is not coming from the model. If you load from the model, the attribute may not be located in the same order as the other attributes. It should be a part of the SMS_PART_INFO node as show below:

When you load a part that has this attribute in the XML, the attribute displays on the Attribute viewer and in the header of the template.
