Geometry Mapping Tab (CSV to Plant 3D Class Mapping Dialog Box)

Selects graphic scripts and maps dimensional properties or parameters for them.

List of Options

Selects graphic scripts and maps dimensional properties or parameters from them.

Note: AutoPLANT mappings are displayed by default. If you are using a another 3rd-party program, delete these mappings and create new ones for your specific program.

External class names

Lists 3rd-party class names that map directly to a Plant 3D class.

Add class name

Adds new 3rd-party class names to the External Class Names list. Enter text into the box and click the + button to add a class name.

Note:

To reuse an existing script, right-click an existing class to copy the mapping information and then right-click the new class to paste the information. This action affects only this tab.

+ button

Adds a new 3rd-party class name to the External Class Names list.

- button

Deletes a 3rd-party class name from the External Class Names list.

External class name

Displays the 3rd-party class name selected from the External Class Names list on the left pane.

Property names to match

Specifies 3rd-party property names to be matched to Plant 3D endtype graphic scripts in varying contexts.

Separate multiple property names with commas.

Add script name (required)

Adds a Plant 3D endtype graphics script name to the list.

Add property value

Adds property values for the 3rd-party property. In the dialog shown, the property is END_COND_1 and the values are SWF, SCF, BW, and so on.

+ button

Adds a new row that includes the entered script name and property value.

- button

Deletes a selected row that includes the entered script name and property value.

Parameter mapping

Specifies parameter mapping between Plant 3D and 3rd-party. Each geometry mapping has a corresponding set of parameters, and these can vary depending on the shape.

The image that follows shows a Plant 3D threaded female tee in the catalog editor (size tab).

The Plant 3D dimension parameters for the shape are listed, and you can enter them in the Parameter Mapping table in the Plant 3D Parameter Name column. You can then enter the corresponding 3rd-party property name (or value).

Plant 3D parameter name

Specifies the Plant 3D graphic script dimension parameter to map to the 3rd-party parameter.

External parameter name or value

Specifies the 3rd-party parameter name, expression, or value to map to the Plant 3D parameter.
