Before working with electrical reference data, you must be familiar with how the software handles reference data in general. If you have not already done so, read and understand the following important concepts and procedures described in the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide:
-
Custom attributes
-
Symbol creation
-
Codelists (also referred to as "select lists")
-
Naming rules
-
Bulkloading
For example, before you can define parts, you must understand how part data relates to data on the custom interfaces sheet, and how that information relates to parameters defined when the part symbol is created.
Electrical Workbooks
The electrical reference data is defined in several Microsoft Excel workbooks. The software delivers these workbooks to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles folder. The following table lists the delivered workbooks and gives a brief description of their content.
