Import DIN Package

You can import a DIN package along with 3D data (STEP files) and map imported data to the vendor component all within one function.

Note

• The preference MRMGTCProductIDVendorAcronymSeparator controls which separator is used for the GTC and DIN product ID and vendor acronym, if a specific character or string does not allow using Naming rules then you can use any other separator.

• The DIN formats supported for tool vendor catalog packages are DIN 26100:2017-11 and DIN 26100:2021-05.

Procedure

1. Obtain a copy of the DIN package from a tool vendor and save the file to a location that you will use to retrieve the file, for example, C:\GTCPackageDownloads.

In the Resource Manager view, initiate the import function by using one of the following methods:

In the toolbar, click

In the menu bar select Tools→Import DIN package

2. In the Import DIN Package dialog box, select the package to import. You can select a file on the client or the server.

If you select a client file, the file is copied to the server and unpacked on the server. Selecting a file on the server saves this step. If you enter location values in the MRMGTCPackageClientDir and MRMGTCPackageServerDir preferences, these locations are displayed automatically in the Client and Server boxes.

3. In the Import DIN Products dialog box, the DIN packages are displayed. You can hover over the package to view additional information, or select Import Products to continue.

When the import is complete, the importing of 3D model data begins if the Import 3D Models option is selected.

4. Click Next.

The Map Selected ICOs dialog box displays.

5. Click Map ICOs to map the products to the Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) tool components.

The Mapping ICOs Progress Results dialog box displays the progress of the mapping.

6. Click Next to display a import summary.

7. Click OK.

In the Classification Table, the imported and mapped products are displayed.

8. When the import is complete, you can review the mapping of the ICOs.

Results

Note

When you import a library that has tools that do not map directly to existing classes, the discrepancies are highlighted in a summary report.

• If the Source Class maps directly to a single Target Class, the row is white.

• If no Target Class is found to match the Source Class, the row is red.

• If there are multiple Target Classes the Source Class can map to, the row is yellow and there is a menu to choose the desired Target Class.
