Import Using PML

It is possible to import P&IDs in non-graphics (tty) mode using PML. This enables batch scripts to execute imports without user interaction. For example:

1. Create a folder called TestImport in your PDMS (or Marine) installation folder.

2. Create a file in the TestImport folder called import.bat with the following contents:

   ..\PlantEngineering tty <project> <user>/<password> /<mdb> $M/import.mac

   or

   ..\MarineEngineering tty <project> <user>/<password> /<mdb> $M/import.mac

3. Create a file in the TestImport folder called import.mac with the following contents:

   SchematicModelManager

   !pid = object smm()

   !result = !pid.ImportFile('<P&ID filename and path>')

   if (!result NE -1) then

   savework

   endif

   finish

4. Run import.bat either from a command prompt or by double clicking on it from the file explorer.
