Import/Export Management: How to create Context-mapping xml

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS17

I want to make use of Site, Utilities, Import/Export Management For import of CAD-Data. I want to make use of the Context-mapping file to tell which context to import EPMDocs to. I cannot find an example xml or a description how to create one. The documentation i found is not helpful: https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r11.2.0.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/ExportImportImpSpecifyImpContext.html

There is no supported way to load cad-data into Windchill. 

The reason for this is probably because of the relationships between files that the cad systems builds. 

PTC loads template files when you install windchill but if you have a look these are only single, unrelated files.

I would suggest that you use import to workspace for best and fastest results..

Hey Bryan,

thank you for your reply! According to documentation, mentiononed in intial question, to me it documentation sounds like as it would be supported:

• CAD document structure (built with latest configuration specification)
• Product structure with CAD documents (built with active configuration specification)

The relations are imported correctly - but on db side data is corrupt for imported cad objects: EPMDocumentMaster Table is not being filled/no row is being created, Only EPMDocument Table is being filled as it should.
Do you/anyone have a documentation how these xmls to should look like?
