Specifying required properties on a master shape

In a createDescriptorPropertyMaps entry, the createDescriptorProperty tag specifies a required property and its default value. These parameters apply to each Teamcenter object created when you drop the master shape in the Visio drawing pane.

<createDescriptorPropertyMaps>
<createDescriptorProperty tcPropName="dscr_prop_name"
tcPropvalue="dscr_prop_val"/>
</createDescriptorPropertyMaps>

Caution: A master shape can have only one createDescriptorProperty tag.

• tcPropName — replace dscr_prop_name with the name of the required property.
• tcPropvalue — replace dscr_prop_val with the default value for the required property. For example, designate the new object as a function by using object_type for tcPropName and Function Block for tcPropvalue.

You can also assign default values for items, item revisions, and master forms. For item revisions and master forms, the tcPropName value must be preceded by the appropriate prefix:

Object type	Prefix	Example
Item	(none)	tcPropName="object_name"
Item Revision	revision:	tcPropName="revision:item_revision_id"
Item Master Form	IMAN_master_form:	tcPropName="IMAN_master_form:serial_number"
Item Master Form Revision	revision:IMAN_master_form_rev:	tcPropName="revision:IMAN_master_form_rev:project_id"
