Hello everyone.
I am very new to IsoDraw, using v7.3, and I have a small issue.
I want to convert .CGM file to its clear text encoding. I know my input file is encoded in binary and I want to use a command line to convert it to clear text encoding. There are a few things I don't understand :
- What should be the command like ? For now I've been trying to change many subtleties but nothing seems to work.
I always start with this : [path_to_isodraw.exe]\IsoDraw73.exe -s"path_to_source_file" -d"path_to_destination_file" . Then I try to use a simple macro with this only command "Export "path_to_cgm" "CGM". I checked in the preference file for my specific parameters and it seems ok. This macro is saved in my C:\User\myname\AppData\Roaming\ptc\Isodraw\Macro so I add this to my command line, giving this :
[path_to_isodraw.exe]\IsoDraw73.exe -s"path_to_source_file.cgm" -d"path_to_destination_file.cgm" -m"C:\C:\User\myname\AppData\Roaming\ptc\Isodraw\Macro\convertCGM.ism".
Now others questions I have are the following :
- There is a destination file in the command line and another one in the export line of the macro. Doesn't this create a conflict ? To make things simpler, I use the same path but.. still.
- I know there's a -f10 command line option that allows to convert in CGM. How does it precisely work ? Does it conflicts with the export command of the macro ?
- This command worked once on a test file. I tried it again on another file and I could'nt make it work again. Am I missing something ?
- Imagine I want to specify my Export "CGM" command. Let's say one to convert into binary and the other to convert into clear text. Is this possible ? I tried to do some changes in the preference file (changing CGM to CGMBinary and adding CGMText) but this doesn't seem to work. I guess we can't add new commands ? Are we supposed to change the parameters each time ?
That's it for now, thank you in advance for any help. I've looked around the forums, guides and help but couldn't find anything useful, so any help is appreciated
