CORRESPONDENCE

The CORRESPONDENCE parameter file is used for translating between two different catalogues. When the specification translate button is pressed in the diagnostic wizard form, this file is used to change the spref attribute of the sub-components found that currently reference catalogues from other projects.

If the current spref attribute of the sub-component (SBFI or FIXING) is found in the first column of the file, it is changed to the corresponding value in second column. A suitable file with the first column completed can be generated by pressing the Create File button. The translation function is useful for bulk modifications, copying existing projects and advancing design from feasibility to detailed stages. The relationship between the project and the databases is defined in the DBSCATALOGUE file.
