Attaching individual drawings, drawing objects, and boundary
objects
When your CAD drawings do not use the same polyline standards,
you can attach the CAD drawing and the boundary information one object
at a time. You might also use the individual attachment method to
update specific attached drawing information.
Attaching a drawing to a record
You attach each CAD drawing to a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities record. The top-level mapping that is specified in the selected application definition determines the type of record that you can attach the drawing to.
Attaching required areas for a top-level record
The gross area in a drawing is a required attachment. The measured gross area is a required attachment when it is specified as a requirement in the application definition. The application definition that you use might specify more required areas.
Attaching drawing objects to records
In an attached CAD drawing, you can attach objects to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities records such as spaces and assets. For example, you might attach a block or cell to a desk or a person record. After the objects are attached, users can view and report on the objects in IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher and in the Graphics section in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment.
Inserting Maximo Real Estate and Facilities objects into a drawing
In an attached CAD drawing, you can insert Maximo Real Estate and Facilities objects that are attached to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities records such as assets or people. For example, you can insert objects that represent desks, chairs, phones, and people into an office space. After the objects are inserted, users can view and report on the objects in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher and in a Graphics section in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment.
