Use the GenerateMapping tool - Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher - Help

The GenerateMapping tool is delivered with Smart Interop Publisher and is used to generate the required mapping and schema files. The generated mapping file is named GenericToR3DMapping.xls and lists source classes and their properties. You can specify additional information for mapping, such as target class, target interface, and target property, after the file is generated. The generated schema file is named GenericSchema.xls. It lists the class names and their properties.

If you have previously used this tool to generate a GenericToR3DMapping.xls file and you have the file in the designated output folder, the GenerateMapping tool recognizes the mapping file and appends any new classes and properties from the input .drv files to the existing mapping file. The new classes and properties from the .drv files are displayed in a purple color in the GenericToR3DMapping.xls sheet. The GenericSchema.xls file is regenerated every time you use the GenerateMapping tool and contains all class names and properties from the GenericToR3DMapping.xls mapping file.

The tool is in the Smart Interop Publisher install folder. The default location is [drive]:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Interop Publisher.
