CAD hierarchy

The nodes in the CAD hierarchy define the relationship between the mappings that are used when Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher interacts with the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment. The nodes are also used for navigation in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher.

Each CAD hierarchy structure has a top-level node that is the starting point in an application definition. The defined mapping specifies the type of Maximo Real Estate and Facilities record that a CAD drawing can be attached to. The parent nodes of the top-level node provide a contextual, hierarchical view that appears in the Attach Drawing or the Smart Attach window. Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher users navigate through the contextual nodes to locate the node to use to attach the CAD drawing file.

For example, a drawing file of floor 1 of the Atlas building in Dallas attaches to the floor 1 record in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment. The Dallas property, Atlas building, and floor 1 records must exist in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment. In the Attach Drawing window, users navigate to Dallas location > Atlas building > floor 1 and attach the drawing file.

The child nodes of the top-level node are items that users can attach drawing objects to. For example, in the floor 1 drawing, users can attach spaces or area overlays in the drawing to records. Users can create the space and area overlay records by uploading the child objects from Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher.

If your Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment does not support subspaces, remove the subspace node from the application definition that you use.
