To Create the ecad_hint.map File
1. Run an automatic import of your ECAD part list into an assembly. This creates a log file called ecad_hint.add, that includes entries for each part type in the part list.
2. Edit this file, if required, substituting values as necessary, and save it in the working directory as ecad_hint.map.
3. If you have custom .prt files prepared for substitution, delete the automatically generated parts from the assembly and reimport the ECAD part file using the newly edited ecad_hint.map file.
