It is possible to define the method for identifying model elements in import cases. There are three methods available:

•By object id

•By object name and type

•By symbol

 

The methods are defined in the import settings file in the [Parameters] section. Valid values are:

 

•IdentifyBy=id

•IdentifyBy=name

•IdentifyBy=symbol

 

If the IdentifyBy parameter is missing, the default method (IdentifyBy=id) is used. The IdentifyBy=name method resolves also relation custom attributes in addition to elements.
