PDM-UG: General Part Properties

From WikiSTEP

This page belongs to the PDM Usage Guide.

The PDM Schema allows specifying properties associated with product data by linking a representation of the property values to the object with which the property is associated.

The PDM Schema optionally allows property identification that is independent from the actual association of a property to product data. In this case, the property definitions of a given type are additionally associated to a single 'general' identification for the particular type of property. The general_property entity collects multiple property_definitions that are of the same type, which may be associated to different elements of product data.
