Supporting external profile data files

For generating mapping files for applications other than AVEVA Bocad, AVEVA E3D 2.1™ or PDMS, there is a folder and file structure you will need to follow. The files for Frameworks will provide a template. However, the TEST mapping file is the only one that has been completed.

There are three separate folders: the source csv files, the resultant mapping files and the supporting data files.

The important file to note is the shapes.txt file, this is a file that links the shape to the file tables in the standard folders below. Below is a sample of the shapes.txt file.

This indicates, for example, that files C.txt (line 7) are related to the shape code 4, which you will see above refers to C shapes. The profile tables related to the external package may then be sorted into folders named according to the standard to which they apply.

This will assist in housekeeping, as this is just a sample data set, the C.txt contains just 1 entry, UNP220. The interface now has enough information to perform the conversion.
