To export models into files the user must be in one of the Design modules.
If the models being exported are large, then it is a lot quicker to output the files with the device tty mode rather than the graphics mode of the Model module. The EXPORT commands can be stored in a macro file.
For example, use the following commands to export the equipment and the pipes in STEP format:
|
repre level 6 |
Set drawing representation level |
|
repre level pipe 6 |
Set drawing representation level for pipes |
|
repre level nozz 6 |
Set drawing representation level for nozzles. |
|
repre level stru 6 |
Set drawing representation level for structures. |
|
export system /explantmcad |
Load the export driver. |
|
export file /c:\ExportedModels |
Specify the target directory for the exported files. |
|
export /EQUIP |
Select names of the elements that are to be exported. |
|
export /PIPES |
Select names of the elements that are to be exported. |
|
export finish |
Do the export of the selected elements |
To export to a single STEP file, specify a full filename instead of a directory name:
For example:
export file /c:\AVEVA\Export\piperack001.stp
The naming of the exported items are unique.
Note:
It is not possible to create a multi-levelled assembly hierarchy within a single STEP
file.
