Issues

The interface allows only for the transfer of a character descriptor for a Profile. For a successful data transfer, there will need to be co-ordination between users of each package to make sure that the geometric description associated with the catalogue name is identical and that there is a means of correlation between the packages.

In the base product, the structural model may contain two views of the data: one view defined by logical connectivity by references to the connecting items; and the physical view defined by the relative location of items. So, while we may logically relate two items, they may not necessarily be physically close to each other. Thus, transferring the model will necessarily involve the loss of real connectivity information which will be difficult to reconstitute correctly on Import.

The interface will output a warning message when sections are met which cannot be handled or are unexpected.

The double quote character " in text fields, particularly in profile names is not allowed. This can cause problems with imperial sized items in the catalogue that use the character to indicate inches. It is not allowed in ANY text fields.
