Converting ​.pmldat Files for use with LIEXEC

Legacy .pmldat configuration files may be converted to command-line macro files for use in LIEXEC, using the AVEVA E3D Design application ware as follows for DXF/DWG configurations

!dxf = object dxfout()

!dxf.load( !!file( ‘%AVEVA_DESIGN_DFLTS%/name.pmldat’ ))

!dxf.save( !!file( ‘%AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%/name.pmldat’ ))

and, for DGN configurations:

!dgn = object dgnout()

!dgn.load( !!file( ‘%AVEVA_DESIGN_DFLTS%/name.pmldat’ ))

!dgn.save( !!file( ‘%AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%/name.pmldat’ ))

where name is the name of the .pmldat file. The macro file %AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%\name.mac is created when the PML data file is saved.
