The material name must be identical to some of the names in the material table (File -> Properties -> material properties).
Per default the key is a complex vbs expression. It may be adjusted as desired.
?context.TranslateStringInGlobalOptionArray("MATMAP","",GetObject("iface.calcnameservice").start(0).Format("<CLASSPROP(cns,CNSPHYPROP,CNSMAT)>").value())
Alternative examples for the vbs expression:
?GetObject("iface.calcnameservice").start(0)
.Format("<CLASSPROP(cns,CNSPHYPROP,CNSMAT)>").value()
Definition, where the material information is from.
Can be combined with material mapping (internal 3Dfindit material name : CAD system material name).
Material mapping is used to map the internal 3Dfindit material name to the CAD system material name.

The untranslated name of the material is transferred; in other words the same one for all languages. | |
Per default the material name is taken from the CNS classification.
If an ERP integration is used, the material column is "MAT_NAME". You can find details on this under Section 3.2.9.2, “Material mapping with ERP integration ”.
If no ERP integration is used, the material column is "CNSMAT". You can find details on this under Section 3.2.9.1, “Material mapping without ERP integration ” ERP integration.
The determined name is then mapped along with the material table under block [MatMap] to the CAD system material names.
