Advanced STEPXML tags determine how data is imported and exported from STEP. Update or replace the default template with Advanced STEPXML tags to generate the desired output.
XSD (XML Schema Definition)
An XSD (XML Schema Definition) file includes information on the required, optional, and deprecated elements for tags. XSD files are linked from the Technical Documentation within the STEPXML section, at [system]/sdk or accessible from the Start Page.
- For successful importing or exporting, Advanced STEPXML format and STEPXML format files must conform to the PIM.XSD file. Click the XSD link to download the file.
- When the option to include empty values is selected for STEPXML or Advanced STEPXML exports, all linked and valid attributes, references, metadata, and data containers are included in the export.
- To successfully specify what should be exported when using the Advanced STEPXML format, the export file must conform to the PIMOutputTemplate.XSD file. Click the Output Template (Recorder File) XSD link to download the recorder XML file.
Note: STEPXML is intended for use with external systems for integration purposes. Exported empty values are not intended to be imported into STEP.
Important: The true and false settings for all XML attributes are case-sensitive and must be lower case.
