Teamcenter mapping file contents

In a Teamcenter mapping file (.xml), the DiagramShapeMaps section contains the entries for all master shapes in the stencil. A DiagramShapeMap entry defines the mapping for one master shape — it declares the name of the master shape and contains other entries with their tags.

The following entries appear within a DiagramShapeMap (illustrated using the Function master shape mapping in FM_Diagram_prop_map.xml, the default mapping file for the FunctionalModeling application domain):

1. DiagramShapeMap — declares the master shape with the DiagramShapeName parameter. Caution: if the master is a compound shape, you must set the IsGroup parameter to true.
2. typeMaps — relates the master shape to a Teamcenter object type.
3. DiagramShapeResolverPropertyMaps — makes a master shape unique among others mapped to the same object type.
4. createDescriptorPropertyMaps — specifies a required property and default value for diagram shapes based on the master shape.
5. textPropertyMaps — specifies a property whose value is displayed in the text boxes of diagram shapes based on the master shape.
