1. Join us on Twitter: #AU2014 Data Standard introduction Marco Mirandola CEO www.coolOrange.com

2. Marco MirandolaJens Kieninger

3. Getting to know the power of Data Standard: An overview of what comes with the standard (ca. 20 min) Samples, Samples, Samples (ca. 30 min) First steps with configuring Data Standard (ca. 30 min) Class summary

4. At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Know what Data Standard is, how it works, and what it is good for  Know how flexibly Data Standard can be adapted to your needs  Know how to configure Data Standard  Know how others have implemented Data Standard Key learning objectives

5. Data Standard – The standard

6.  Shortcuts are a natural phenomenon, even with engineers: Data Standardization Challenges  I don’t know what the details are right now  Don’t worry, we’ll catch any issues before release  I just want to get the file started  I’ll fill in the detail later on  I know how to find my files without all these properties

7. Data Standardization Challenges  Data is enforced too late in the process adding additional effort  Data is not entered by the document creator resulting in error or miscommunication  Data is simply missing  Files are stored in the wrong location  Its impossible to find and reuse files

8. Data Standardization Challenges A solution is needed to drive design standards and processes  Manage users save locations  Control and share templates  Enforce property policies early in the design process  Provide consistent end user approach to file numbering and data entry

9. Data Standard In Vault Explorer  Create new standard files based on user defined templates  Manage the file types and naming based on project or folder type  Satisfy project deliverable requirements up front

10. Data Standard in Vault Explorer  Create new folders leveraging custom UI and properties  Leverage business logic rules to create structure and project requirements

11.  Create detail tab / view to better understand critical properties, relationships or attachments for files, folders, items and ECO’s Data Standard in Vault Explorer

12.  Support for Inventor, AutoCAD and AutoCAD Mechanical Data Standard in CAD

13.  New File / Modify dialog supports:  Advanced Vault file numbering schemes  Folder save location  Enforcing specific properties  Mapped to iProperties in Inventor  Mapped to Title block in AutoCAD

14. Demo

15.  In order to streamline the creation of data  In order to simplify data entry  In order to avoid anarchy  In order to allow every technically skilled person to adapt Vault to his own needs Why Data Standard?

16.  It’s a free add-on for Vault 2014, 15, 15R2, …  and for AutoCAD/M and Inventor  It’s a framework for standardizing the data flow  It’s a framework for “easily” customize Vault What is Data Standard?

17. Samples

18. Pick subfolder from Vault Pick first, second and third level folders from Vault  Involved files:  Inventor.xaml (edit)  SetFolders.ps1 (new)  Default.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: middle

19. Depending Combo-Boxes Select from cascading combo-boxes related values and generate a code  Involved files:  Inventor.xaml (edit)  CascadingCombo.ps1 (new)  Complexity: simple

20. Select items from within CAD Select an item from Vault within Inventor by performing a search, and set the part number with the item number  Involved files:  Inventor.xaml (edit)  ItemTab(new)  Complexity: middle

21. Filtering numbering scheme Show only relevant numbering schemes for according file types  Involved files:  Default.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: simple  For components  For Drawings

22. Custom file name Combine the generated file name with a custom property  Involved files:  Default.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: simple

23. Hiding Number Scheme Control Filename gets created automatically without selecting a numbering scheme  Use a Vault numbering scheme (see sample)  Get number from an external source Sample uses a fixed Vault numbering scheme („TestScheme“) with a free text that gets filled by a property value

24. Folder from template Create a new folder with the same folder structure as the selected reference folder  Involved files:  Folder.xaml (edit)  GetFolders.ps1 (new)  CreateFolder.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: simple

25. New folder linked to custom object Create a new folder and linked it to a company (custom object)  Involved files:  Folder.xaml (edit)  GetCompanies.ps1 (new)  CreateFolder.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: simple

26. Uses – Where used tab See uses and where-used combined in one tab, in other to see where- used for each component  Involved files:  Uses-Where used.xaml (new)  UsesWhereUsed.ps1 (new)  UsesWhereUsed.dll (new)  Default.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: complex

27. Item tab for files See the  Involved files:  Uses-Where used.xaml (new)  UsesWhereUsed.ps1 (new)  UsesWhereUsed.dll (new)  Default.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: complex

28. ERP Tab Add a tab on the file/item context that shows data from an ERP system  Involved files:  Erp.xaml (new)  ErpTab.ps1 (new)  Default.ps1 (edit)  Complexity: middle

29. New menu item – add Job to queue Create a new menu item that queues a job in the job-queue  Involved files:  Mymenu.mnu (edit)  cOCreatePDF.ps1 (new)  Complexity: simple

30. Menu item for custom report Create a report of all drawings related to the selected assembly  Involved files:  Mymenu.mnu (edit)  cOcreateDrawingReport.ps1 (new)  Complexity: simple

32.  …add a new field in a dialog  …add a new command item  …add a new tab How to…

33. Adding a field Adding a field for project information in the Inventor dialog  Edit the XAML  Create a VS-XAML project  link to the Inventor.xaml  Reference DataStandardUI.dll  Edit the Inventor.config  Add a project proeprty

34. Adding a new menu item Adding a hello world menu item  Edit the mymenu.mnu  Create a HelloWorld.ps1

35. Adding a new tab Create a new tab  Copy and paste the Datasheet.xaml  Edit the according XAML file

36. The magic of Binding XAMLPowerShell CAD/Vault

37. How much XAML do you speak?

38.  Tabs are for view/actions only (suggested)  XAML is for design only, while logic goes into PowerShell Design concepts
