CSV File for Virtual Objects

Before you can import virtual objects in bulk, you must manually edit the configuration data in a CSV file (a textual file containing comma separated values).

An example of CSV file to import is available here: GMSMainProject/profiles/VirtualObjectsDataTemplate/SampleVirtualObjectsImport.csv.

CSV Data

The configuration of each virtual object is composed as follows:

ObjectModel,CnsName,CnsFolderName,[Description],[FolderDescription]

For example:

GMS_Virtual_String,String1,StringFolder,My String 1,Folder String

Data	Use	Description
`ObjectModel`	Mandatory	Name of the object model as it appears in the Object Model folder of the Virtual Objects library.
`CnsName`	Mandatory	Unique name of the virtual object as it will appear in System Browser.
`CnsFolderName`	Mandatory	Unique name of the virtual objects folder as it will appear in System Browser.
`[Description]`	Optional	Description of the virtual object as it will appear in System Browser.
`[FolderDescription]`	Optional	Description of the virtual objects folder as it will appear in System Browser.

Since each row of the configuration file must include four commas, if [Description] or [FolderDescription] are not specified, comma must be added at the end of the row for each not specified optional data.

For example:

GMS_Virtual_Binary,Binary_01,FolderBinary,,

In this case, description and/or folder description that will appear in Desigo CC will be obtained from CnsName and CnsFolderName respectively.
