Data processing > EngPart > Evaluating received data

In addition to the usual information displayed in the !MC5 main windows the add-on module EngPart checks incoming files whether any of them are EngPart or ENGDAT files. In this case the EngPart Main window opens automatically if it is not already open. In the list you will now find the name of the company that has just transmitted ENGDAT / EngPart data to you.

If the partner company has transmitted an EngPart file, there will be a special reference to it at the beginning of the line. Otherwise files in ENGDAT standard have been transmitted. To evaluate the transmitted data select an entry from the list and click the Evaluation symbol. For ENGDAT the usual ENGDAT-evaluation window will be opened, see ENGDAT Evaluation

For EngPart files the data transmitted will be read and stored by the EngPart module immediately. As soon as the message EngPart file has been read is shown, the information is accessible via Partner Data Administration.

Select the option Edit Partner Data within Partner Data Administration to view the information. If you have already sent an EngPart file to the partner company you are now able to send engineering files in ENGDAT standard to this company. If you want to view a received EngPart file after evaluating it, you can select the option Print received data in the menu Partner Data Administration. The program will provide you with a printout of the received EngPart file.

Hint:

If the partner company cannot send its data in EngPart standard you have to enter relevant information, e.g. final recipients in the departments, manually. When done you can use the EngPart module to transmit data in ENGDAT standard to the partner company.
