When setting up data transfer for multiple plants, if the PDS 3D and Smart P&ID plants have the same set of properties and the same intended mapping, then you can copy the SPMap.mdb file from one plant to another. The Attribute Mapper always verifies that the Smart P&ID site in the .mdb file is the same as the map for the selected PDS project. However, if you are not sure if the plants have the same set of properties, we recommend that you copy the delivered SPMap.mdb file from the PDSHELL\pid\ folder.

For a project where data transfer was set up to work with an earlier version of Smart P&ID, some attribute mappings have changed. You can use either the new SPMap.mdb file delivered in the PDSHELL\pid\ folder or follow the procedure mentioned for CR32693 in the PDS README file. Even if you are going to work with the default attribute mapping, you must start SmartPlant Attribute Mapper at least once. If necessary, you can back up the updated SPMap.mdb file, delete the changes, and copy a fresh SPMap.mdb to go through the mapping process again.

  1. Copy \WIN32APP\INGR\PDSHELL\pid\SPMap.mdb and SPTransferOpt to the PDS project directory. For projects created with version 6.4.1 or later, these files are copied automatically from the PDSHELL\pid folder at the time of project creation.

  2. Go to Start > Programs > PD_Shell > SP PID to PDS 3D to display a list of available PDS projects.

    • The software reads the list of PDS projects from the PDS proj_file.

    • The Attribute Mapper does not honor any other variables defined in the pds.cmd file, such as RIS parameter file locations, and so forth.

  3. Double-click the PDS project to use with Smart P&ID and locate the SmartPlantV4.ini file.

    The SmartPlant Migrator for P&ID utility opens and shows the PDS attributes for the selected project.

The location of the SmartPlantV4.ini file must be specified using a complete UNC path. If path to this .ini file is mapped on a network drive and the mapped network drive path is used to locate it, this results in errors.

  • After a relationship between attributes is established, the SmartPlant Attribute Mapper opens. The link between the Smart P&ID plant and the PDS 3D project is established and updated automatically in the SPMap.mdb file. For the attribute mapper to run properly, the following path to Smart Engineering Manager must be added to the system PATH environment variable:

    "..\..\SmartPlant\Engineering Manager\bin"
