Hello colleagues,
I have a question - how can I change / supplement the shape mapping file ("exchange_metric.exm") for the ProStructures - ISM exchange, which is located along this path:C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\ProStructures\Default\appl\Exchange
Regards,Ruan Mistiakov
Hello Ruan Mistiakov,
Thanks for posting this query in Bentley Community Forum.
Do you want to rename the file or you have different question? Are you looking for SDNF Export/import feature?
Please do let us know what actually you are looking for?

Hello Sandip,
Rather, I need a SDNF import / export.
But in reality, I need to import sections when creating an ISM repository when transferring a model to STAAD.Pro and vice versa.

Ruan Mistiakov
Hi Ruan,
Thanks for your update here. Now I got it. You need ISM export/import from./to ProStructures/Staad
I believe when you are tryiong to export it always ask you to map. However with recent development, even if you are not mapping, it will map the sections according to the library available, and where system not finding any sections, it automatically converts into user shapes.
We have here one short video link which may help you to understand.
