Hi,
How can I create and attach file with a CAD Document through IOM API?
Here is the code I am trying to implement.
<hr />
// Create the CAd Document item
var docItem = MyInnovator.newItem("CAD", "add");
docItem.setProperty("item_number", "CADDoc 004");
// Create the File item and set the path to the file.
var fileItem = MyInnovator.newItem("File", "add");
fileItem.setProperty("filename", "My Document.docx");
fileItem.attachPhysicalFile("D:\\My Document.docx");
// Create the relationship between the CAd Document and File
var relItem = MyInnovator.newItem("CADFiles", "add");
docItem.addRelationship(relItem);
relItem.setRelatedItem(fileItem);
var results = docItem.apply();
<hr />
I guess CAD files are null able type of relation since there is null value in related id column in CADFiles table...
Hello,
It appears that the CADFiles relationship is unique in that it is not a relationship between the CAD and File itemtypes. Rather, it is a null relationship with a file property called "attached_file".
I have updated the sample Method you provided to account for this. Additionally, I have updated your sample to use the newer setFileProperty function that is in 11.0 SP9.
// Create the CAd Document item
var docItem = MyInnovator.newItem("CAD", "add");
docItem.setProperty("item_number", "CADDoc 004");
// Create the relationship between the CAd Document and File
var relItem = MyInnovator.newItem("CADFiles", "add");
relItem.setFileProperty("attached_file", @"C:\Temp\Test.txt");
docItem.addRelationship(relItem);
var results = docItem.apply();
If you are using a version of Innovator before 11.0 SP9, you will need to rewrite this sample to use the attachPhysicalFile function that you were using initially.
