• I've been trying to export data from PDMS using the built in functionality in ExPLANT-I

    My configuration is the following

    ATTRIBUTE_FILE xml
    DGN_FILE yes
    ATTRIBUTE_LINKAGE 32768 0
    FILE_HEADER ||
    ELEMENT_HEADER ||
    ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT ||
    OUTPUT_UNITS MM DECIMAL 1
    OUTPUT_UNITS DISTANCE MM
    OUTPUT_UNITS BORE NOMINAL MM DECIMAL 1
    GRAPHIC_GROUPS ON
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Then i have several types of data i include. I will mention this works perfectly for exporting smaller data sets.
    When a bigger data export start something wierd happends, here is a few sections copied from the same XML file produced.

  • In Design Utilities --> Export -->Select Driver --> Explant I (Intergraph)

    After this Utilities -->Export -->Create It will open a Form

    Mention file name as some xxx.dgn

    and Include which Sites you need for export.

    It will give Correct Output.
  • Hi and thank you for your reply.
    Seems i have no option to select Explant I (Intergraph). the only thing i can select from this is review.

    however for exporting i have just made a program that is integrated to pdms, using command line operations like:

               Run(Command.CreateCommand("export system /explant"));
               Run(Command.CreateCommand("export autocolour on"));
               Run(Command.CreateCommand("export option \'configuration\' \'" + pathToMyConfig.cfg + "\'"));
               Run(Command.CreateCommand("export file /" + target + " overwrite"));
               Run(Command.CreateCommand("export holes on"));
    Run(Command.CreateCommand("export ce")); < Loop here on all elements to export >
    Run(Command.CreateCommand("export option 'Seedfile' '" + mySeed.dgn + "'"));
               Run(Command.CreateCommand("export finish"));

    Seems to be working ok to me initially its just when i come across very large datasets that for some reson the ID gets messed up.
