Manufacturer - Xdata in AutoCAD Electrical toolset For example, the property CORE SIZE maps to a user column of the Create/Edit Wire Type dialog box if there is a column header defined as 'CORE SIZE.' If mapping does not exist then the data is not maintained inside of your AutoCAD Electrical toolset drawing file.Ĭomponent RefDes - TAG1 attribute in AutoCAD Electrical toolsetĪutodesk Inventor part number - Xdata in AutoCAD Electrical toolset

You must make sure that your column header names (set in the Rename User Columns dialog box) match the property names coming out of the Autodesk Inventor Professional XML export (set in the Autodesk Inventor Custom Properties dialog box). The first cable marker listed in the XML file is inserted as the parent and the subsequent markers of the same reference designator (Cable Tag) are inserted as children.Ĭertain Autodesk Inventor Professional wire property names need to be maintained inside of AutoCAD Electrical toolset. The wire numbers are inserted following the drawing's wire number setting (above wire, in-line with wire, or below wire). Additionally, wire numbers and cable marker symbols are inserted onto the drawing. The wires are connected in the appropriate position on the connector representation.Īs the wires are inserted, the wire types in the XML file are applied to the Wire Layer in the AutoCAD Electrical toolset drawing. The wire insertion tool finds the best possible route with the fewest amount of wire loops in between the connection reducing the requirement on gap pointers. Once the wiring information is determined, the wires are routed making sure to miss existing geometry on the drawing. AutoCAD Electrical toolset parses the file data to determine all wire From and To connections. After the connectors are inserted onto the drawing, click Wire on the Connector Selection dialog box to place all wire connections to all components on the drawing file. From the XML export from Autodesk Inventor Professional (AIP) into AutoCAD Electrical toolset, you can select from a list of connectors defined in the export, and then place the connectors onto a 2D drawing file.
