PCF Generation Attribute Mapping

To display attributes in the generated drawing, enter a value for Type and its corresponding attributes in this mapping table.

In Data Setup, this mapping table should be assigned to:

The PCF Generation Attribute Mapping item in the resource table of Piping/Tubing Design Resources.

Part of a typical PCF Generation Attribute Mapping table is shown below.

Type	AttributeName	ISOGenAttributeName	AttributeOwner
Pipeline	V_PipeInsulationSpec	INSULATION-SPEC
Pipeline	V_PipeSpecification	PIPING-SPEC
Pipeline	V_OperatingTemperature	PIPELINE-TEMP
Pipeline	V_NominalSize	SIZE
Pipeline	V_Standard	STANDARD
Pipeline	V_LogicalSubPartType	PIPELINE-REFERENCE
Pipeline	V_OperatingPressure	PRESSURE
Component	USER-DEFINED	BOP-ELEVATION	Instance
Component	USER-DEFINED	DETAIL-SKETCH-IDENTIFIER	Instance
Component	USER-DEFINED	SPECIAL-STATUS

If you add a new attribute, you must modify this mapping table.

There are three columns in the table:

Column	Value	Description
Type	Pipeline	Causes attribute to be displayed in a specific area of the generated drawing, depending on the format you select. If the attribute has a value then the value will be displayed; if there is no value then the value field will be left blank.
	Component	If the attribute belongs to a component then enter Component in the type field. There are several customizable lines in the table that you can modify. The lines display the Alias attribute but not the corresponding CATIA attribute. If you create an attribute that corresponds to the listed Alias attribute then you can remove the words USER-DEFINED and enter your attribute. You can also add new lines if you want, entering the CATIA and Alias attributes. The display of component attributes in a drawing depends on how you customize it.
	Description	Causes attribute to be displayed in a description column (you can format Alias to add a column with the heading Description to the generated drawings).
	ATTR-CATEGORYxx	Adds a column to the generated drawing, to display additional attributes. There are several lines in the sample mapping table having the Type value ATTR-CATEGORYxx USER DEFINED (where xx is a number). These are essentially blank lines. If you want to display an attribute value in a column, change the entries USER DEFINED to reflect the names of CATIA and Alias attributes. The attribute will be added to the columns already displayed. A drawing can have a maximum of 20 columns.
AttributeName	CATIA attribute name	If the attribute name is 3DEXPERIENCE-DEFINED, a business logic is used to retrieve its value.
ISOGenAttributeName	Equivalent Alias attribute name	Refers to Alias documentation to determine the equivalent attribute name value.
AttributeOwner	Instance or blank value	Indicates if the attribute name must be searched on the instance or not. If the value is blank, then the attribute must be searched on the reference.
