When importing electrical data, Smart 3D imports the center position of the cross-section from the PDMS .datal file. However, during export, PDMS uses the bottom-center of the cross-section to place the cableway objects, resulting in an unintended offset. To correct this system difference, you must use the mapping workflow below before importing electrical data from PDMS to Smart 3D.
-
Navigate to the [Product Folder]\3DRefData\SharedContent\Data\Translators\PDMSS3DImport folder, and open the PDMSS3DImportMapping.xls workbook.
-
Locate the ElectricalRunSpecAdditionalAttr electrical translation mapping file.
-
Map the offset values for each specification. Use the example below to map the X-Offset and Y-Offset values:
1. Port 2 |
-
X-Offset (6) represents the offset distance along the width of the cable tray cross section.
-
Y-Offset (7) represents the offset distance along the depth of the cable tray cross section.
-
Orientation is the direction along the cable tray depth (8) at port 1 (3).
-
If the orientation for a component changes, map the new orientation at the component level in the ElectricalComponentAddAttrMap sheet. See ElectricalComponentSPREFMap.
