IBM TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher overview
IBM® TRIRIGA® CAD Integrator/Publisher provides bidirectional tools that integrate your computer-aided design (CAD) application with the TRIRIGA environment and enhance the standard CAD functions. TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher provides a means of attaching and uploading data to the TRIRIGA environment. You can also view real-time information for that data in your CAD application in the form of reporting.
You use TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher to upload and link data, apply real-time reporting, and publish graphic representations for use in the Graphics section of TRIRIGA applications. TRIRIGA users such as space planners can view CAD drawings such as floor plans in Graphics sections of the TRIRIGA applications that they use.
For information about the new features in version 12 and how the features differ from version 10, see the CAD Integrator-Publisher page in the IBM TRIRIGA wiki.
In your AutoCAD or MicroStation application, you access the TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher tools from the IBM TRIRIGA menu and menu items. Alternatively, in your AutoCAD application, you can type the equivalent command in the CAD software command line. You can also use the commands to build scripts.
Only one TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher instance can run at a time. To use a different instance, you must close the instance that is running, and then open another instance.
In TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher, the changes that you make on an open CAD drawing update the TRIRIGA records as you edit the drawing. For example, each drawing and boundary or block that you attach updates the TRIRIGA records as you perform each attach action. Inserted objects make TRIRIGA record associations as you insert the objects into the drawing.
In TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher, new, modified, and deleted objects update the Graphics sections only after you publish the changes to the objects.
Any changes that are made to records in the TRIRIGA environment update the CAD drawing after you synchronize the records and the drawing from TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher.
- TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher requirements
TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher version 12.1.0 and later works only with TRIRIGA Application Platform version 3.4.0 and later. - TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher security
The TRIRIGA Application Platform provides the security provisions that TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher uses for data access. For example, the TRIRIGA Application Platform prevents a user with read-only access to spaces from running a batch edit to edit spaces. To publish drawing information, a user must have at least edit access to the top-level form definition that is defined in the active application definition. - Application definitions
A TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher application definition defines how CAD drawing information can be attached to records in the TRIRIGA environment. - CAD drawing requirements
TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher includes requirements for polylines, boundaries, regions, and objects in your drawings. Grouped objects are not supported.
