Extraction Template Wizard - Select Unique Identifiers - Step (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use this step to specify the identifiers that uniquely identify items in parts lists.

Primary identifier

Specifies the name of a component property the value of which value uniquely identifies a part or assembly. Unique identifiers are used to build the hierarchical relationship between drawings during migration.

Note:

Only properties that appear in both the parts list and title block are available for selection.

Secondary identifier

Select a component property to use as a unique identifier in the event the primary identifier is empty in a drawing being migrated. The secondary identifier is optional.

Note:

If you go back to the Text Extraction dialog box and change the text objects mapped to the component properties used as identifiers, all inputs from the identifier drop-down list are cleared.
