EXPORT(BYCONFIG) Command

The EXPORT(BYCONFIG) command supports the export of pictures using export config sets.

EXPORTBYCONFIG <ELEMENT> <TYPE> <CONFIGSET> <FILEPATH> <OVER>

<ELEMENT> is a reference to a Draw database element, such as CE for the current element or the name preceded by "/" for a specific named element.

The given element must correspond to a valid picture. For example, specifying a SHEE exports the entire sheet. Specifying a VIEW exports the SHEE containing the VIEW.

<TYPE> is one of:

• /DXF export to AutoCAD DXF file.

• /DWG export to AutoCAD DWG file.

• /DGN export to Microstation DGN file.

• /PDF export to a PDF file.

• /IMAGE export the drawing to an image format depending on the settings specified in the config set.

• /SVG export to an SVG vector image file.

• /PLT export to an AVEVA plot file.

<CONFIGSET> is the name of a config set which defines the settings for export, as defined in the backstage export dialog. This must be enclosed in single quotes.

<FILEPATH> is the file path to which the exported drawing is saved. This must be preceded by a "/" character.

<OVERWRITE> when specified, any existing file at the provided file path is overwritten. If a file exists and OVER(WRITE) is not specified, export fails.

Example: EXPORT CE /DXF 'AVEVA' /C:\tmp\out.dxf OVER

The example exports the current element in DXF format using the default AVEVA config set.

Note:
If you are exporting a picture using the Draw functionality in Model, the full EXPORTBYCONFIG command must be used.

Example: EXPORTBYCONFIG CE /DXF 'AVEVA' /C:\tmp\out.dxf OVER
