The Drawing Reader Pre-Processor module can extract title block and tag information from any files supported by Intergraph SmartSketch®. The supported file formats are:
|
Hexagon File Types |
Non-Hexagon File Types |
|---|---|
|
SmartSketch Document (.igr) |
AutoCAD 2021 or earlier (.dwg, .dxf) |
|
Smart 3D SmartSketch Drawing Editor (.sha) |
Microstation V8 Design File (.dgn) |
|
Smart P&ID (.pid) |
Microstation Cell Library (.cel) |
|
Smart Instrumentation (.sma) |
Symbol (.sym) |
|
Smart Electrical (.spe) |
Zyqad (.zyq) |
The drawing reader looks into the PreProcessedContentFiles folder, which is located in the same location as the native files prior to the content discovery task, for preprocessed content files that have been extracted from third party applications. The drawing reader first checks for [File Name with extension]_GraphicsMapFile.xml and [File Name with extension]_NavigationFile.igr. If both the files are found then it looks for [File Name with extension]_ContentFile.xml. If all the three files are available in the PreProcessedContentFiles folder, then they are related to the master file and the [File Name with extension]_ContentFile.xml is used for tag extraction. If the drawing reader does not find either [File Name with extension]_GraphicsMapFile.xml or the [File Name with extension]_NavigationFile.igr file in the PreProcessedContentFiles folder, then the application uses SmartConverter to process the files.
In absence of the preprocessed content files, the drawing reader extracts the cross-referenced and linked information available in the drawing by using the SmartConverter. Both the native image and rendered image are attached to the drawing file. An XML file containing all the acquired tags and cross references is generated and attached to the Document version. The Intergraph SmartSketch RAD hotspotter automatically extracts the tag and cross-reference information from the drawing file, using a set of rules defined in the SmartConverter.
If the [FileName with extension]_GraphicsMapFile.xml, [FileName with extension]_NavigationFile.igr,
and [FileName with extension]_ContentFile.xml files are available for the corresponding
Drawing file, they should be placed in the PreProcessedContentFiles folder, located
in the same location as the native files prior to the content discovery task. For
example, if the native files exist in C:\Data CaptureData, you should place the [FileName with extension]_GraphicsMapFile.xml, [FileName
with extension]_NavigationFile.igr, and [FileName with extension]_ContentFile.xml
files in the C:\Data CaptureData\PreProcessedContentFiles folder.
