Override Default Symbol Mapping

The V-Suite CORE to PCF interface provides the option to map assets to ISOGEN symbol keys. This mapping is based on default templates and catalog types. If you have added new templates or wish to modify the mapping options, you can override this default mapping by creating a PCF symbol mapping XML file.

The mapping file must have the following format:

<Root_Element>

<CatalogItem

Name="Template Name"

Type="Catalog Type"

PcfComponentId="PCF Component Identifier"

TopWorks="true or false"

Code="Custom Item Code"

SKeys="Symbol Keys"

</Root_Element>

The mapping file contains one or more CatalogItem elements. Each element has the following attributes:

Name
The name of the asset's template (for example "Flange" - upper or lower case)

Type
Catalog attributes Type attribute (for example "Weld Neck" - upper or lower case).
If no catalog type attribute is specified leave this attribute blank (Type="")

PcfComponentIdentifier
The PCF component identifier. Refer to Interface Supported PCF Types.

TopWorks
Optional (default is "false" if not specified). For valves only and indicates whether hand wheel/operator/actuator should be displayed on isometric.

Code
Generic custom item code

SKeys
Valid symbol keys. Multiple options should be separated by '|', for instance, "VCFL|CKFL". Refer to ISOGEN documentation for valid symbol keys.
