how to select a default folder based on CAD authoring application in PDMLink v9.1 ?

$

We wish to sort Pro/E files and SolidWorks files into two separate folders in PDMLink v9.1 M062, within the same Product context. How can we set this to happen automatically by default ?

 

For example we could have the folders /Default/MCAD/ProE and /Default/MCAD/SolidWorks (and each could have more sub-folders for any further 'manual' sorting).

 

I guess we could create two sub-types of the 'Workgroup Manager CAD Document' type in the Type & Attribute Manager, and then we could quite easily write two simple OIRs that set the specific folders for each sub-type, but in this case how can we associate each of those sub-types with a specific authoring application (in the Type & Attribute Manager) ?

 

Alternatively, I suppose we make use of the conditional logic facility within the OIRs to select the appropriate folder based on the authoring application, but how would we use the authoring application name within the OIR ?
ie. we want to do something along the lines of...
if AuthoringApplication=PROE then default folder.id= /Default/MCAD/ProE
if AuthoringApplication=SOLIDWORKS then default folder.id= /Default/MCAD/SolidWorks

 

Any help gratefully received !
