This example pipeline watches a folder on the SpinFire Manage server and converts them to an ACT3D file.
To create this pipeline,
From the Pipeline Manager, click Create New.
On the Pipeline Configuration dialog window,
Enter a unique pipeline name.
Add a description (optional).
Click Save Changes.
Drag and drop the Directory Watcher trigger into the trigger area.
On the Directory Watcher configuration dialog window,
Enter a Trigger name.
Enter the Watched Directory.
Enter the extension or select the types of files to convert.
In this example, our assembly is made up of Catia v5 files, so we’ll select Catia v5.
Check Watchsub-directories,if you want SpinFire Manage to traverse down all branches below the watched folder.
Check Add existing files if the files to process already exist in the folder(s).
Click Save changes.
Drag and drop the CAD to SpinFire action into the Actions area.
On the CAD to SpinFire configuration dialog window,
Enter an Action name.
Use the dw_changed_file dynamic property for the CAD filepath.
Enter the Target filepath. In this example, I want the ACT3D files to be saved in the same folder that they were found. I’ll use the dynamic property, dw_changed_dir, in combination with the filename dynamic property, dw_filename_extension, an add the .ACT3D extension.
