to query the table to find the correct mapping entry
for a given block name to swap.
If blank, the new block swaps in at the same scale as
the existing block it replaces. If this field is not blank,
Column D/ Scale Multiplier
the swapped block is scaled up or down per the
field's multiplier value.
If blank, the new block swaps in at the same XY co-
ordinate as the existing block it replaces. If not blank
Column E / X-Y Offset
and in the format of a coordinate pair, the swapped
block inserts offset from the original block's origin
by this XY amount.
Defines specific attribute Old=New mapping that is
not defined in sheet 1 or is to override what is found
Column F / Attribute name overrides
in sheet 1. Multiple entries in this field are supported
with this syntax: Old1=New1;Old2=New2.
Defines specific attribute values to insert into the
newly swapped attributes. Multiple entries in this
Column G / Attribute Value Overrides
field are supported with this syntax:
New1=val1;New2=val2. An entry of "New1=" blanks
out that attribute value.
The block replacement process generates a log file of the results. The log file
({projectname}_cnv.log) is created in the same folder as the .wdp project file.
The following conditions are reported:
■ Problem finding/opening mapping spreadsheet
■ Problem inserting WD_M block (if not already present)
