LMAP Interface (LINT) Subsystem

The LMAP subsystem is a low level subsystem in the LINT interface. The LMAP subsytem is responsible for mapping MDA ACIS entities to/from MDA GDX entities. These functions provide the interface of the LGDX subsytem to the MAP subsystem.

Mappings are defined in the lint.mdf file. This files contains the relationship the defined mappings to the functions in this subsystem. Please refer to the map_intro man page for more information on how to setup mapping tables and enable mappings. The LGDX subsystem expects subordinate entities to have mappings enabled. Please refer to the lgdx_intro man page.

To map a ACIS BODY to a IGES 186 the following mappings must be enabled:
/* Topology Mappings ACIS -> GDX */
"acis_body -> gdx"              /* No COMMIT, creates a GDX SOLID that
                                   will later get mapped to IGES */
