How to map segment name to an specific attribute using PCF translator in AutoPIPE?

Example: Map attribute "PIPELINEP-REFERENCE" to segment Line Number

Solution:

First start by closing AutoPIPE and PCF translator

Next , manually open the PCFin.MAP file from the following folder location using any text editor (i.e. Ultra Edit, NotePad ++, MS Word, etc..):

%appdata%\ Bentley\PCF Translator\ PCFin.MAP

Than scroll (search) down the file until [SETTINGS], by default should be around line # 735.

Note that by default the "LINENUMBER" is set to "MISC-SPEC1"

Change this settings so "LINENUMBER" is now set to "PIPELINEP-REFERENCE"

Note: Maintain column alignment with the row above, PIPELINE... should start in column #18.
