Managed Data Item Support in CIS/2 Design Model

OpenBuildings Station Designer’s CIS/2 translator is enhanced to create Managed Data Items for all ASSEMBLY_DESIGN_STRUCTURAL_MEMBER and sub classes/entities. Managed Data Items are used for change management and design synchronization when working with detailing applications dependent upon CIS/2 models.

The enhancements allows you to export a CIS/2 design model from the structural model, make changes to the structural model, and subsequently export a second version of the CIS/2 design model in which the same GUIDS in the Managed Data Items that were used in the first version are reused.

Importing the CIS/2 model into an empty OpenBuildings Station Designer DGN retains the Managed Data Items. Subsequent exports of changes back to the CIS/2 model also retain the original Managed Data Items.

CIS/2 and ISM ID's

If Members in the OpenBuildings Station Designer model have ISM ID’s (imported from an ISM model), their Managed Data Items reuse the same ISM ID’s. That is, the CIS/2 export now respects the export map created when creating an ISM repository.
