Field mapping
The mapping of the attributes of polylines and blocks in a layer of an AutoCAD drawing to the fields of business objects.
In your CAD drawing definition, the mapping is specified on Details level, under Mapping > in the Source field.
The field mapping allows you to retrieve data from:
• Drawing
• Drawing - retrieve from layer
• Drawing handle ID
• Connect for AutoCAD
• Drawing - retrieve from AEC objects
Whenever you select either of these options, the field mapping sections that are not relevant are greyed out.
| To ensure proper functionality of field mapping with MText, the MText objects must meet the following requirements:
••• The MText must be left aligned.
••• The MText box must be wide enough to fit the entire line that needs to be mapped to a Planon field. Field names that run over multiple lines cannot be mapped correctly. |
