Summary


Details

The value for the TC preference TC_NX_DataExchange_Dataset_Preferences is defined as follows:

STL:EXPORT:EXT=stl:TYPE=Image:REL=IMAN_manifestation:REF_TYPE=Image
But we want the STL dataset type to be not an image, how can we configure this?

Solution

Change the value of the TC Preference TC_NX_DataExchange_Dataset_Preferences

from:

STL:EXPORT:EXT=stl:TYPE=Image:REL=IMAN_manifestation:REF_TYPE=Image

to e.g.:

STL:EXPORT:EXT=stl:TYPE=STL:REL=IMAN_manifestation:REF_TYPE=STL-bin

Make sure that the "TYPE" is the real property name not the Display Name of your Dataset Type.

You can see the Reference Type (REF_TYPE) for your Dataset Type also in BMIDE.
