Sample Profile Mapping File

The actual shape code number is not critical: the combination of the shape code and the country code IS critical. The combination of the shape and country codes enable us to identify exactly which AVEVA Catalogue™ item is being used. The list of country codes has been extended for the new AVEVA structural profile catalogue. This allows us to differentiate between the old and new catalogues, and the equivalent shapes in each catalogue. This means that we can apply treatment, such as rotation or mirroring, to any particular shape.

Below is a short extract of a Profile mapping file between the base product and AVEVA Bocad Steel.
