Edit Mapping Rule

The Edit Mapping Rule dialog box defines the attribute mapping between SOLIDWORKS PDM and SOLIDWORKS Electrical.

Depending on the mapping direction, the target object appears at the top of the dialog box. The source object appears at the bottom. The text Will be equal to separates the target and source.

The following example shows the source with static text and wildcards:
  • French name: {PROJECT.DescriptionLang:fr}
  • English name: {PROJECT.TranslatedDataLang:1:en}
Field name Description
Target <object> variable Defines the target variable, which consists of two parts:
  • Variable name: A list of attributes to choose from.

  • Enter a constant value, rules with wildcards, or a combination of both in the edit field.
  • Click {} to open the Rule Expression Editor, which assists in defining property values.
