   Project^ oProject,
   StringCollection^ oFileNames,
   String^ strOutputDirectory,
   int% nCountoursImported
)

Parameters

oProject: Project from which data to macro will be taken. Can't be null.
oFileNames: List of full paths to Rittal Automation NC files used to import data. Only files with extensions: *.PBT, *.PVB and *.PKU are used. Can't be null.
strOutputDirectory: Output directory for user defined contours. If null or empty by default $MD_MACROS is used. If directory is passed then it must exists.
nCountoursImported: (Ref) Number of generated user defined contours files.

Return Value

Number of drilling patters added to system database.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	If any needed parameter is `null` or `empty`.
System.ArgumentException	If any parameter is invalid.
System.ApplicationException	Internal interface for master data could not be created. Please check if ProPanel addon is installed and current license gives rights to use it.

Remarks

The import of drilling information from Rittal Automation NC files encompasses the files with file extensions: *.PBT, *.PVB and *.PKU.

With this method only drilling patterns for individual items can be generated, not however complete mounting panels from RittalAutomation item files (*.PBT or *.PVB).

A user-defined outline is created from a Rittal Automation outline file (*.PKU). A "NC Rittal Automation" record is already assigned to this outline. After the import you create a drilling pattern with drill type "User-defined outline" that uses the outline created by the import of the PKU file in the parts management.

This method uses a scheme called Standard when exporting the Rittal Automation NC data.
