Arbortext IsoDraw reimport txt from XML file with macro

Hi all,

I would like to create a macro to reimport the text (with Object ID) present in an XML file into a .iso file.

My knowledge of IML is very basic (but at the end I manage to create a macro to apply the ID and export into XML ).

Please have a look at the attached and let me know if somebody out there can help me?

Thank you in advance

Max

To apply the xml against the iso file you just need to open it while having the iso file open.

Untested, but this should work. The space in your file name might be an issue though.

Macro Import_XML

Define noExt as String

Define XML as String

noExt= StripExt(ActiveDoc.Path)

XML = noExt + '.xml'

Open XML

End Macro

Thank you very much Trevor,

this macro works for 1 file at the time, but unfortunately I work with a lot files at the time.

Usually I have 40 files ISO in 1 folder and 40 files XML in another folder, any tips?

Cheers

Max

You should be able to use the batch tool in IsoDraw. If you convert to IsoDraw you'll still have your source files as well.
