Creating an attribute mapping file

Note: An attribute mapping file is available in importing drawings (DGN, DWF, DWFx, DWG, DXF), IFC models (IFC, IFCzip), or Navisworks models.

An attribute mapping file can be used in importing drawings or models to CADMATIC eBrowser. The importer will use the mapping file to map the object attributes described in the mapping file, and discard the objects which are not mapped in the file.

The attribute mapping file syntax:

Each line of the file defines a single mapping from the first field to the second field.
Fields are separated by a single unescaped comma.
Escaping is done by prepending a special character with a backslash.
Commas, backslashes, and preceding and trailing spaces are to be escaped.
Lines beginning with '#' are ignored; the original attribute beginning with # must be escaped.

Examples

original , mapped – maps "original" to "mapped"

some attribute, another attribute – maps "some attribute" to "another attribute"

ab\,cd , ef\,gh – maps "ab,cd" to "ef,gh"
