Notes:

You can use an Allplan cpiComponentType attribute to make a superordinate definition of the component type if the attribute type is set to "text" and the attribute value is a valid cpiComponentType. Otherwise, the attribute is ignored.

During export each component is given an additional attribute, nemObjectType, which indicates the Allplan component type. Allplan's Object name attribute, which is usually the same, is also exported
