Bocad Steel Interface
Bocad Steel Interface : Supplementary Information : User Customisation
As a demonstration of the export customisation, AVEVA have provided a function that will produce a comma separated variable file, a CSV file of the hierarchy on each principal element exported. This might be useful for reporting purposes of for Bocad itself in managing the model. This is accessed by attaching the !!bocpostexport function. From the ABSI Export window, navigate to the ABSI - System Configuration window.
From the ABSI - System Configuration window, select the Macros tab enter the Post export Macro Name.
If the storage location is empty the application sorts all incoming entities according to phases. This is because the model has been created in Bocad. Refer to Sorting into Phases for more information.
If the storage location already has something in it, the data imported from Bocad will be merged into the existing model. In this case, the new details that have been associated with existing members are moved into the same location in the database hierarchy. All members are sorted according to UUID, all other members that have been newly imported from Bocad are sorted into phases. Refer to Sort members according to leading member UUID and Sorting into Phases for more information.
