PlantBatch > How to use

UNDER DEVELOPMENT

The chapter describes the use of command line arguments to start PlantBatch through a batch file or other applications.

Usage

PlantBatch /PLATFORM=<ACC|VAULT|NORMAL> /PROJECT=<project> /CONFIG=<name> [options]

Arguments

/PLATFORM	ACC \| VAULT \| NORMAL (required unless /HELP)
/PROJECT	Project path (NORMAL) or project name (ACC/VAULT)
/CONFIG	Batch configuration name
/ACCACCOUNT	Required when PLATFORM=ACC
/ACCHUB	Required when PLATFORM=ACC

List parsing (/CATEGORIES, /DWGS)

- Split on commas that are NOT escaped.

- Use \",\" to include a literal comma inside an item (in case the path or file name contains a comma).

- Items may be quoted; whitespace around items is trimmed.

- Empty items are invalid.

Special DWG variables (NORMAL platform only)

[PROJECTPATH] Directory of Project.xml

[PROJECTNAME] Resolved project name
