4.16.2.  Pin dimension feature on/off / plinkcommon.cfg -> Block [PARTdataManager] -> Key "LockDimRange"

[PARTdataManager]
LockDimRange=0 (Wert 0 oder 1)

LockDimRange determines whether the dimension feature [Dimension attribute] (e.g. the length of a semi-finished product) is pinned or not.

Semi-finished product - dimensional characteristic not pinned

Semi-finished product - dimensional characteristic not pinned

  1. LockDimRange = 0

    Double-clicking on the value range field of the type dimensional characteristic [Dimension attribute] opens an input window where you can set the variable value (e.g. the length 'L' to the desired value.

    The part is exported with the set value.

    After reloading the part, the value is set back to the original value of '100'.

    You can export the same line with the same ERP number with different value range values again and again.

  2. LockDimRange = 1

    The pinned (i.e. no longer changeable) value is no longer displayed with the yellow icon when the line is selected, but with a gray lock symbol. The original line with the same line number remains next to it. If you select this, you can define a new value range value and assign a new ERP number to the line (Add data record to link database [Add dataset to link database] ).

    Pinning only happens through assigning an ERP number.
