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

List of Options

Global class properties (first five items in the list on the left pane)

Lists global properties that apply to all classes. Once these properties are mapped, you need not map them again for individual classes.

If, however, you want to override a global mapping for a specific class, you map that class appropriately and its mapping takes precedence over the global mapping.

External class names (remaining items in the list on the left pane)

Lists 3rd-party class names that can map 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 existing mappings, 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.

Plant 3D matching class name

Specifies the Plant 3D class that corresponds to the 3rd-party class selected on the left pane. When you select one of the global mappings this field is read-only.

Plant 3D Property Name

Specifies the Plant 3D properties that you want mapped to the 3rd-party properties for the class selected on the left pane.

External Property Name

Specifies the 3rd-party properties for the class selected on the left pane.

Match or Apply

Specifies whether you want to match the properties or apply a specific property value. For example, for the AutoPLANT AT_BOLT class, the Plant 3D Length property is set to match AutoPLANT Bolt_len. But the Plant 3D PartCategory property is set to the specific value Fasteners.
