Before importing design data with Project Import, a new project is created in Order Input.

Project Import is then used to import design data generated by the design system. Supported design systems include:

  • Intergraph SmartĀ® 3D

  • AVEVA Marine

The design data package contains a file folder structure with multiple XML files. The root folder includes an assembly XML file. The XML file is the master file of the package.

The steps performed during the import process are listed below. Some of these steps are performed directly in Project Import, whereas other steps are performed as background processes.

  1. Initialized

    During this step, the system copies the import files to the server. The system also performs basic XML validation, such as verifying that the XML structure is correct.

  2. Validated

    During this step, the system validates the plate, profile, and assembly XML files in greater detail. For example, the system verifies that all attachment files and all articles are available and that the specified macros are valid. The results of the validation step are written to the import log. The system assigns one of the following statuses to each imported item:

    • Inserted indicates that the item was imported for the first time without any errors.

    • Updated indicates that the item has been previously imported and has been re-imported without errors.

    • Deleted indicates that the item has been previously imported but is not included in the current import.

    • Error indicates that the item has problems that must be resolved in the design system. For example, the system reports a missing geometry file as an error. Errors prevent finalization.

    • Warning indicates that the item has problems that should be investigated by the user. For example, the system reports incorrect bevel parameters as a warning. Warnings do not prevent finalization.

  3. Finalized

    During this step, the system imports the geometries and inserts the imported items into database. When this step is complete, all the imported items are visible in other modules (such as Order Input).
