You use the Microsoft Excel workbook S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls to map all of the Smart 3D objects and object properties to the corresponding objects in PDMS. The S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook consists of all required types of translation mapping worksheets. Before you export Smart 3D model data, you must modify these mapping worksheets to ensure that all of the necessary criteria have been met. Refer to comments in the delivered mapping file sheets for more information on configuring the mapping files. For more information about the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls worksheets, see Appendix: Smart 3D Export to PDMS Workbook.
