Output Mappings

Output Mapping Editor serves for mapping input features (CAD Feature column) to PCF features which affect the resulting PCF file, i.e. for the PCF features there are the source features set which the values should be taken from.

If there are several mappings set for one PCF feature, then the one with the highest priority is used.

A mapping with lower priority is used in case that the CAD feature for the mapping with the highest priority is not available for the current item (pipe, fitting, etc.).

 PCF features can be selected from drop-down.

 Feature names are case sensitive!

 To set a standard file property, specific CAD property or other feature as CAD feature it must be typed in special language independent form intelligible to Smap3D PCFExport. A list of file properties and features with respective required forms is available here.

The Output Mappings Editor form is composed of two tables.

The top table contains local mappings (user specific), the bottom one displays global mappings.

The global mappings are common for all the users using the same Smap3D Plant Design configuration folder (it is also where the PCFExportGlobalRules.xml file is stored).

While the local mappings can be edited in the standard way, the global ones can only be copied from the local section or removed.

To copy a local mapping to the global options use Make global from context menu.
