1. A "small" refresher about the new (& some older) functions in SmarTeam/CartWeb Catia Forum – 2011, the 14th of April SmarTeam tricks & tips 1

2. The different "Check-Out" possibilities Delete CERN Vs. Classic Delete function Item structure Management New "Open" behavior Removing the CDD information when duplicating a drawing Summary: 2

3. SmarTeam tricks & tips The different "Check-Out" possibilities: - I can save any modification during work - The other users know that I'm performing some modifications - No one else can do some modifications at the same time - If I'm not sure to keep the modifications… Reminder: Why is it so important to check-out as soon as possible, and before performing any modification ? Before Check-In, it is still possible to cancel the modifications using " Undo Check-Out" command. I am also able to delete the Checked Out Documents in SmarTeam. 3

4. SmarTeam tricks & tips The different "Check-Out" possibilities: Reminder 2: What is this option in the launcher? This option changes deeply the behavior of SmarTeam Checked-Out functions. By default, each time a Check-Out is performed on a Drawing / Product, the children are switched to their latest revision. 4

5. SmarTeam tricks & tips The different "Check-Out" possibilities: FromCommand name Operations / Need Propagation -> All documents you are responsible for Smart Propagation -> if necessary to replace older revision children by the latest Replace a child by any revision Customi zed CO CO + Open "in 1 click" CO when a document is already opened in Catia V5 CATIA Check-Out Advanced (Current Selection) Possible XX X SmarTeam Life Cycle \ Check-OutPossible XX Smart Check Out \ Check-Out (+ Open) X Smart Check Out \ Check-Out (+ Dialog) Propagate Operation (+ Open) X Propagate Operation -> Only when a Child is not latest (+ Open) X 5

6. SmarTeam tricks & tips The different "Check-Out" possibilities: Command nameDetailed function Check-Out Advanced (Current Selection) The only Check-Out command available if some documents are already opened in Catia V5. Customized check out possible but no smart behavior. Life Cycle \ Check-Out The same as above but running from SmarTeam. No possibility to open at the same time the documents in Catia V5. Smart Check Out \ Check-Out (+ Open) The easiest and fastest way to modify a Part or a Product. In this latest case, the direct children will be updated. Smart Check Out \ Check-Out (+ Dialog) Propagate Operation (+ Open) All the documents (Top Drawing, Parts & Products) I'm responsible for will be checked out and opened if whished. Propagate Operation -> Only when a Child is not latest (+ Open) The hunter of red dots! Only the Products are checked out. The best tool to update an assembly and to open it if whished. 6

7. SmarTeam tricks & tips Advantage of "Delete CERN" compared to classic "Delete Objects" function Delete CERN: - Objects Multi-selection - No internal links selection verification - Available for any classes of SmarTeam objects (Documents, Items, Projects…) - Object deletion only, not for links removal 7

10. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 1: Build the Item Structure according to the Documentary Structure Using BOM Compare tool I can easily create / update my Item Structure from the Catia Document Structure: 10

11. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 2 (optional): Add / remove manually some Items Using "Delete link" command it is possible to easily remove an existing Item from the Structure: 11

12. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 2 (optional): Add / remove manually some Items Using "Copy/Paste" command or "Drag & Drop" it is possible to add an Item to the Structure: 12

13. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 2 (optional): Add / remove manually some Items 13 With these 2 commands, you will be able to remove e.g. a skeleton which has been put accidentally into the part list, You will also be able to add an Item corresponding to your raw material with a Scem number for a Part nomenclature

14. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 3: Reorder or change quantity 14 Soon users will get a tool to easily get the order of the Specification Tree Product to the partlist... This "BOM Ordering" tool still needs some final testing. Users should be informed in the next Catia forum. To be continue…

15. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 3: Reorder or change quantity From the Top Item, go to "Links / Composed of" window and use the "Link Update Command". Run CARTWeb to apply this to the nomenclature. 15

16. SmarTeam tricks & tips Item Structure Management: Step 4 (optional): Export the BOM From the Top Item, go to "CERN / Excel BOM" to export the nomenclature to a new Excel sheet. You can specify the depth of item levels and include the specification documents (in blue): 16

17. SmarTeam tricks & tips New "Open" behavior: Since the 10 th of February, the "Open*" function behavior has changed. Reminder : 17 - If you have a Checked Out document, it will never be replaced in the work directory by older versions. - If you have opened a last document version in CATIA, it will never be replaced in your work directory by older versions ->To be able to open a older version you must first clean your work - If you have opened an old version in Catia, it will automatically be replaced in your work directory when you want to open newer versions * Official SmarTeam "Open" Command

18. SmarTeam tricks & tips New "Open" behavior: Another "Open" command has been internally developed at CERN, called "Open-Multi". Some users are testing this function. 18 The main differences are: 1.As its name indicates, the "Open-Multi" command can open several documents at the same time from SmarTeam. 2.It opens what you select in SmarTeam. It means that you don't have to clean your work to open a older revision of a doc previously opened in Catia. If the test results are convenient with the users expectations, this command could replace the current one.

19. SmarTeam tricks & tips Removing the CDD information when duplicating a drawing: The CDD number is stored in several places: 3D, Item, 2D, Cartouche… When you save as a drawing in SmarTeam from an existing one, you will have to remove the CDD number in the new profile card and replace it by the "-" character*. Then, from Catia, before Check-In, it is mandatory to remove all the related information (indice, size…) from the cartouche. 19 * This will be automatically done soon…

20. SmarTeam tricks & tips Removing the CDD information when duplicating a drawing: If the original drawing has an indice A or B… This indice can appear in the TitleBlock of the new copy and cause some troubles when CI, archiving… It exists a command in CARTWeb to remove all the related information to the CDD number from the TitleBlock. 20
