Extracting Profile Data in XML File

Make sure that entries in the PRM file and Workshop Document style xml file are correct. For example, DpmStrProfileStraightDrwStyle and DpmStrProfileXMLDataStyle. Refer to Managing Project Resources for more information.

Important: You must have already generated the in-process model (IPM). If you have not done so, you will not be able to extract workshop documents.

1. Click Workshop Documents Extraction .
   The Workshop Documents Extraction dialog box appears.

2. Select an initial marking and cutting activity associated to a profile.
   
   Dialog box appears showing the possible workshop document extractions for this activity:
   
   - profile fabrication sketch
   
   - XML data for profiles
   
   - IBC data (for curved profiles only).
   
   

3. Click the To Extract column to indicate whether or not you want to extract the associated document:
   Clicking this column switches the value from Yes to No and vice-versa.
   Set the To Extract column to Yes to extract profile XML data only.

4. Click Launch when done.

   Request file is generated and saved in the location identified in the project resource management (PRM) file (by default, workshop documents are saved in C:\temp, see Managing Project Resources). . A message box appears summarizing the process and indicating how successful it has been.

5. Click No to continue if the extraction was successful or Yes to see traces if needed.

6. Open the profile XML data file you have just created.
