When exporting electrical data, Smart 3D exports the center position of the cross-section to the PDMS datal file. However, during import, PDMS uses the bottom-center of the cross-section to place the cableway objects, resulting in an unintended offset. To correct this system difference, you must use the mapping workflow below before exporting electrical data from Smart 3D to PDMS.

  1. Open the ElectricalRunSpecAdditionalAttr electrical translation mapping file.

    The ElectricalRunSpecAdditionalAttr mapping file is located in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook. By default, this workbook is delivered in the [Product Folder]\3DRefData\SharedContent\Data\Translators\S3DPDMSExport folder during setup.

  2. Map the offset values for each specification. Use the example below to map the Y-offset (1) and X-offset (2) values:

    • Y-offset represents the offset distance along the radial vector of the electrical component port.

    • X-offset represents the offset distance along cross product of the direction vector and radial vector of the electrical component port.

  3. Save the mapping file.
