One of the first things that you should do is to synchronize the mapping table of a specific ETAP project with the Smart Electrical mapping file. Smart Electrical always checks the compatibility of the mapping file when importing data from ETAP. In case of version inconsistency, a warning message is displayed asking to import the latest mapping file from ETAP.
-
In Options Manager, select Interfaces > ETAP > Build Mapping XML.
-
On the Build Mapping XML dialog, navigate to the appropriate mapping .mdb file and select Open.
-
This .mdb file is located in the ETAP home directory, under the specific project library > DataEx_SPEL.
-
Smart Electrical converts this .mdb file to ETAPSPELMapping.xml and overwrites the file in the location specified in Options Manager under ETAP - Smart Electrical mapping file location.
