Parameter | Description |
---|---|
TYPE |
Type of task to be performed by the action:PXFPROJECT:Import PXF projectDXFDWGFILES:Insert DXF / DWG drawings in macros.DXFPAGE: Insert DXF drawing into a pageDWGPAGE:Insert DWG drawing into a pagePDFCOMMENTS: Import PDF comments into project. There are some settings that need to be set before doing import. For more informations please see EPLAN Electric P8 Help. |
PROJECTNAME |
Project name with full path.Is required for the following values of the TYPE parameter: PDFCOMMENTS. Is optional if the TYPE parameter has the following values: PXFPROJECT, DXFDWGFILES, DXFPAGE and DWGPAGE. If not entered, the selected project is used when the action is called from GUI (like from a script or ribbon bar). If called from the windows command line, PROJECTNAME must be set or the must be used first, otherwise an exception is thrown. |
IMPORTFILE |

SOURCEPATH |
Directory where the DXF/DWG files are located. Only applies to the DXFDWGFILES value of the TYPE parameter |
DESTINATIONPATH |
Destination directory where the imported projects and macros are stored. Only applies to the DXFDWGFILES values of the TYPE parameter. If this value contains "EPLAN4\P" (e.q. "C:\EPLAN4\P\SOMEPROJECTDIR") then such a directory (DESTINATIONPATH) will be created and project will be imported there. If DESTINATIONPATH parameter doesn't contain "EPLAN4\P", then project will be imported and strDestinationPath will be treated as full project path. Note that in such case DESTINATIONPATH must contain P8 project file at end of path. (e.q. "C:\test\ESS_Sample_Project.elk") |

The following functions are supported : • Import PXF project • Import DXF/DWG drawings in macros (The import is not made via the project, but the DXF/DWG files are directly imported from a directory into the macros and stored in a directory. • Insert DXF / DWG drawing into a page
