Command Line

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= /CONFIG= [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
