This page belongs to the PDM Usage Guide.

Several implementations and pilot projects have identified the requirement to exchange additional properties beyond the pre-defined values given above. One example of such an additional defined property is that of notation related to a document, originating in the AP232.

Document Notation

General notation associated with documents are represented accordingly to the general scheme outlined above. To indicate that the property is related to document notation the used representation must be instantiated with:

representation.name = 'notation'

This capability specifies explanatory remarks or notations related to a document object that may be useful or informative to a human. An identifier may be associated with each note using the attribute descriptive_representation_item.name.

The Instance Model: STEP exchange file format (ISO10303 Part 21 syntax)

/* Entities #140 to #200 assign document format parameters to 'file1' (#80)
#140 = PROPERTY_DEFINITION('document property', '', #80);
#150 = PROPERTY_DEFINITION_REPRESENTATION(#140, #160);
#160 = REPRESENTATION('notation', (#170), #200);
#170 = DESCRIPTIVE_REPRESENTATION_ITEM('rc1', 'actual notation text identified by the reference code rc1');
#200 = REPRESENTATION_CONTEXT('', 'document parameters');
