View/Edit GTYPE Mappings
GTYPEs identify the generic component types of the items that may be created in the 3D database from the imported schematic items.
SCSTYPEs (not to be confused with SCTYPEs) are GTYPE sub-types, used to further identify GTYPEs.
GTYPEs/SCSTYPEs are associated with schematic items by mapping them to the ISO15926 designations of schematic items in the import files. Each ISO15926 designation represents a component type in the schematic source.
The GTYPE value also affects the schematic database element created. If the GTYPE is set to 'VALV', 'VTWA' or 'VFWA' then an SCVALV schematic element is created. In the absence of a GTYPE value of 'VALV', 'VTWA' or 'VFWA' only SCINST, SCTUB and SCFITT schematic database elements will be created inside SCSEGMENT elements.
To view or edit the mappings between ISO15926 designations and corresponding GTYPE/SCSTYPE combinations, select Tools > GTYPE Mappings from the main menu to display the Schematic Model Manager GTYPE Mapping window.
Note:
Not all schematic items have equivalents in the 3D database. Such items do not need to have mappings set up against their ISO15926 designations.
The grid displays any mappings that have already been set up. A limited set of default mappings are supplied with Schematic Model Manager.
To add a new mapping, click on the blank row at the bottom of the grid enter the designation of the schematic item type in the ISO 15926 Designation field.
Note:
Lists of designations can be imported into these fields from a file, or from data previously loaded into the current mdb (see below).
Complete the mapping by selecting a GTYPE, and if applicable, entering an SCSTYPE.
Note that mappings can be automatically completed in accordance with user-defined rules (see below).
To delete existing mappings, select the rows containing the mappings and click Delete Selected Row(s).
To delete all mappings, select the Delete All option.
To close the dialog and save any changes, click OK.
To close the dialog without saving changes, select the Cancel option.
