   The software validates the mapping data that you have defined and creates a worksheet named Smart 3D Objects-Missing Mapping in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook. This sheet lists the missing mapping information. The software also updates individual worksheets with missing mapping information. For easy identification, the software highlights any updated cell in red.

7. Review the log file for any errors.

If the mapping file is read-only, the software creates a copy of the file with the name <Mapping file name>_COPY.xls, and saves it in the same location as the original mapping file. The software updates the copy of the mapping file with the missing mapping details.
