Create User Batch File to Run AVEVA E3D Design

You can set up your own batch files to run AVEVA E3D Design. For example, you may want to run design checking utilities every night, or update batches of drawings overnight.

Begin by creating a batch file, for example, runAVEVAE3Dmacro.bat.

Type the following line into this file:

SET EVARTHREED=C:\Program Files\AVEVA\E3D DesignX.X\

call "%EVARTHREED%mon.exe" PROD DESIGN init "%EVARTHREED%launch.init" APS SYSTEM/XXXXXX /ALL $M/mymacrofile -interactive=FALSE

Where:

• APS is the project name.

• SYSTEM/XXXXXX is the AVEVA E3D Design username/password to be used when running the command macro

• /ALL selects the required MDB

• mymacrofile is the pathname of an AVEVA E3D Design command macro, containing the commands that you want to execute in AVEVA E3D Design.

• interactive=FALSE is used to enter E3D Design in non-interactive mode.

In this example, running runAVEVAE3Dmacro.bat will enter AVEVA E3D Design in project APS, as user SYSTEM/ XXXXXX, in MDB /ALL, and run the AVEVA E3D Design command macro mymacrofile.
