Mapping Setup

The mappings between Instrumentation data and AVEVA Asset Information Management Portal format data are stored in XML files, one for each of the types of mapping:

• Presentation Mapping (Drawing and Hookup Drawing exports only)

• Object Mapping

• Class Mapping

For details of these files, refer to Export to AVEVA Asset Information Management.

In Non-CAD Mapping Configuration window and on Mapping tab of the CAD Mapping Configuration window

1. Click the appropriate … button to browse for the required mapping file.

2. Click the open file button to open the selected file. It will open in the default text editor, for example Notepad.

3. If no file is specified in the field, a new, blank .txt file is opened. If a file is specified that does not exist, you will be prompted to create that file at the specified location.

4. Click Yes to create and open a new blank .txt file for editing.

5. To populate the fields with the default mapping files supplied with AVEVA Instrumentation, click Copy Sample Files.

6. On the Mapping tab of the CAD Mapping Configuration window, if unmapped attributes (such as Instrumentation attributes not mapped to AVEVA AIM Portal characteristics in the Attribute mapping files) are to be exported to export files as characteristics, check the Keep Unmapped Attributes checkbox.
