![]() Note The functionality provided in AutoCAD by Application Integration is subject to the general limitations of Application Integration described in About Application Integration. Conversely, AutoCAD commands that request a file can access Meridian Enterprise vaults for document selection. Together with the basic integration provided by Application Integration, any file created or used by AutoCAD can be managed in a Meridian Enterprise vault. You can create references manually as described in Creating references. However, references between the documents are not automatically created by the AutoCAD link. Note OLE objects inserted into AutoCAD drawings (for example, Excel spreadsheets) are shown by the viewer. These links can be used to view X-Ref drawings that might be effected by changes to a parent drawing and for other uses. The AutoCAD link automatically creates and maintains Meridian Enterprise references between drawings and their X-Refs (attached, overlaid, and underlaid). The link will even detect if the X-Ref files have been renamed in the vault and will resolve them correctly in AutoCAD. When you open a drawing in AutoCAD that has X-Refs, the AutoCAD link finds the current location of the X-Ref files in the vault and updates the locations of the X-Refs in the drawing. This means that Meridian Enterprise can maintain the referential integrity of X-Refs as you import drawings into a vault, move them, create revisions, and even exchange drawings with other parties using briefcases. Įxternal reference file (X-Ref) management by Meridian Enterprise entails automatically detecting and tracking AutoCAD X-Refs regardless of where the files may reside in a vault, including Local Workspace. Title block data exchange is configured by a system administrator as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide. Meridian Enterprise can support multiple title block standards simultaneously. Normal AutoCAD text cannot be linked with Meridian. If your drawing title blocks (static or dynamic) use attributes for the title block text, that text can be synchronized with properties in a Meridian Enterprise vault. Title block data exchange between AutoCAD and Meridian Enterprise occurs by a link between Meridian Enterprise properties and AutoCAD attributes. Other features, such as redline import, are activated at your discretion. Some features, such as external reference file management, are automatic and don’t require any action on your part. ![]() The most important of these features are title block data exchange and external reference management because they can affect the integrity of your drawings. Assembly/subassembly/part structure management.File property data exchange, including custom propertiesĪpplication-specific functionality includes:.For information about this functionality, see the BlueCielo Meridian Asset Management Module User’s Guide. Note The AutoCAD link also supports specific functionality when it is used with the Meridian Asset Management Module. Specific functionality is supported for other editions of AutoCAD such as AutoCAD P&ID, and AutoCAD Electrical. The Meridian Enterprise application link for AutoCAD provides basic functionality for most of the discipline-specific editions of AutoCAD such as AutoCAD Land Desktop, AutoCAD Map 3D, and AutoCAD Architecture. The same principal applies to folders that are being localized.You are here: About application links > About the AutoCAD link About the AutoCAD link You can resolve the conflict (by renaming the component being localized) or end the localization operation. In such a case, AutoCAD Mechanical toolset displays the Rename dialog box. ![]() Sometimes, the current drawing may have a local part or assembly that has the same name as the xref component you are localizing. Similarly, xref folders that nest xref folders from other drawings can be localized using the Localize all option. Localize the assembly only (parts continue to be xref components) using the Localize right-click menu.Localize the assembly and the xref parts using the Localize All right-click menu.Use the mechanical browser or structure catalog to: In some cases, a drawing may contain an xref assembly, that contains xref parts from another drawing (nested xref components). All instances of this xref component or folder become local components or folders and the associative link with the source drawing is removed.
