Associated objects

The mappings that are in the Attachable Associated Objects section of a CAD mapping record are Item mappings. The Item mappings can be used to attach or insert a block or cell into an attached CAD drawing boundary. The block or cell is linked to a TRIRIGA® record that is associated to the selected record by using an association string.

You can define only one attachable mapping for each TRIRIGA business object. Only one attached instance of a TRIRIGA record, such as an employee or a piece of equipment, is allowed per drawing. The provided CAD mappings for associated objects include employees and assets.

The mappings that are in the Other Associated Objects section define TRIRIGA business objects that are not attached to any object in the CAD drawing. The defined business objects can be used in the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher batch associate process. The batch association process allows associations to only the mappings that are specified in the application definition.
