If the PDS project contains any custom properties or if you have changed the standard note text (meaning) of any standard note entry, you must update the mapping in the delivered tool map schema file. The delivered mapping (in PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml) is based on delivered properties and standard note tables. If you have edited any delivered standard note tables or added any custom properties, map the values to the correct entries in the EFSchema.
The following workflow describes how to modify the mapping for custom properties that have been added to a project.
-
Start the Schema Editor and open the PDSComponent.xml schema file located in your PDS project.
-
Open the Tool Map Schema file for your PDS project.
-
Select View for the Tool Schema File, and then click OK. The Schema Editor displays a list of SPMapClassDef entries for the PDS tool schema.
-
Locate the PDS3DPipingSegment MapClassDef node. Right-click and select Edit.
-
From the Edit Map Class Definition dialog, click Advanced Publish Map to see all mapped properties.
-
Check the mapping for your properties. If a property is mapped to the wrong schema property because of the custom properties, right-click the property name in Maps to Property, and then click Delete relationship. In the example below, the Flow Direction property for PDS_Dwg_PipeRun is incorrectly mapped because custom properties were added to the project data structure.
-
Right-click partition_no, and then select Delete MapPropertyToProperty relationship...
-
To remap the property, select FlowDirection from the PDS_Dwg_PipeRun on the right side of the dialog, and then drag FlowDirection to the flow_direction property.
-
Repeat the above steps for all remaining incorrectly-mapped properties.
-
Click OK on the Show Mapping for PDSS3DPipingSegment dialog, and then click OK on the Edit Map Class Definition dialog to save the changes. When you finish all edits, save the Tool Schema file and exit the Schema Editor.
Next: Apply the Instruction File. This file contains additional mapping not included in the delivered PDSComponent.xml tool map schema file.
