Smart Interop Publisher Version
16.2

Lists the projects you have created in the current site database. You can create, remove, and define translation options for source for files contained in each project. The colored tab and the title bar indicate the selected view type (Projects, Models, Drawings, or Job Manager). You can select and edit one project at a time in the Projects view. The Register and shortcut menu commands in the Projects view are available or enabled when specific conditions are met.

Project Settings Command

Specifies operations for Smart Interop Publisher projects. Create and edit settings for one project at a time. This command is not available if you do not have a project, or if you have not yet upgraded the project. If you plan to schedule any translation, update, or publish of Smart Models, you must use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) file path for the source file, Smart Model, and mapping file locations.

Translation Settings Command

Specifies options to control converting data and graphics from one file format to the target Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence application format. The goal is for the resulting model to display in the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence applications as accurately as possible when compared to the original data set. The Translation Settings Command allows you to create a set of default translation options, called a Settings Group, for each data format type you are using. You can create and apply different settings groups to further customize the contents of the generated Smart Models. Define translation settings for one project at a time.

Export Settings Command

Specifies options to control the graphics for the generated third-party format type.

Folder Settings Command

Configures Smart Interop Publisher to monitor a folder and then automatically perform scheduled translation and publish operations. By automatically performing administrative operations, Smart Interop Publisher allows you to manage multiple large projects containing thousands of files. You can create multiple folder settings groups to accommodate every supported source file type contained in your project.

Create a New Project Command

Creates a new project with the user-defined name and location. The new project displays in the Projects grid.

Remove Project Command

Removes one or more selected projects from the grid. If you remove the active project, you must either select another project or create a new one.

Register with SmartPlant Foundation Command

Maps the project and all associated Smart Models and Smart Drawings to a single SmartPlant Foundation URL, which points to one SmartPlant Foundation database.

Upgrade Database Command

Upgrades a selected project to the currently-installed version of Smart Interop Publisher. This command is only available if a project has not been upgraded. You cannot use the project or any Smart Models and Smart Drawings in that project until you upgrade.

Find Documents to Publish Command

Generates a list of Smart Models from the grid that either have not been published or have been modified and require re-publishing. Use this command to remove both Smart Models and Smart Drawings that have been published to SmartPlant Foundation. Currently, the Find capability of this command applies only to Smart Models. If you make any changes to Smart Drawings that have been published, you must use Update and Publish .

Open Shared Content Location Command

Opens the location of the selected project's designated shared content folder. Every Smart Interop Publisher project requires a shared content location. This folder contains internal files used by Smart Interop Publisher to support work done in the specified project.

Projects View Columns

Columns

The columns in the Projects grid represent the basic properties for each project you have created in the current site database. The project properties are read-only.

SPF Signature

Lists the unique identifier provided by SmartPlant Foundation for the relationship between a plant in SmartPlant Foundation and the project.

SharedContent

Shows the folder location that contains copies of the application support files such as SPIOPToolMap.xml that you can modify. The value Not Defined indicates that you have not upgraded a project and designated a shared content folder. Select the project and click Upgrade to use the project.

If you have set up a remote SQL Server with multiple users accessing the same project, we recommend that you copy your shared content folder onto a network file share location.
