Communicator for Word Filtering
Communicator for Word Filtering
Communicator for Word is an application that allows users to export the data from the Evolve Suite to a Word document. As part of this process, the data is initially exported in XML format using the application CMXMLApp
Depending on the model's size, this export can potentially produce a huge XML file, which may take a long time to load or may even exceed memory limits.
To reduce the XML files' size, the user can select the specific objects and the properties to export. In addition, the ability to filter objects based on a property value is also available. These filter options are saved with the filter configuration [2020.1.1 onwards].
How to apply filter
Start the application CMXMLApp from the erwin bin folder, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\erwin\CM10\bin".
Run through the wizard until you get to the "Filter by Properties" page.
Click on "Show Filter" in the top right, then the filter options will appear on the right side as shown in the picture below.
The type of filter shown and the data entered will depend on the property. In the example above, it is a category property with know values and the user can choose one or more. The application will then only output results where the category matches this selection. If the user chooses to save this file by clicking the "Save As" button, opening the file again will show the user's original selection.
