Overview of the main dialog elements:
The Rittal - Athex export is generated as an XML file. Enter the storage location in this field. You can specify any drive and subdirectory as the target for the export. When you select the drive, you can also burn the export directly to a CD.
You can use the Insert path variable popup menu item to branch to the dialog Select path variable where you can select one of the available path variables.
In this drop-down list you specify the default method for allocating file names during the Rittal - Athex export:
- From consecutive number: If you select this option, EPLAN assigns names to the XML files using the pattern Consecutive number.XML by default. If XML files already exist, EPLAN starts the numbering with the next available number.
- From item designation: If you select this option, EPLAN assigns names to the XML files using the pattern <Item designation>.XML by default.
- From properties: If you select this option, the file name is made up of the project properties plus any freely-definable separators. Use the [..] button to open the Format: Property dialog to configure the file name.
In this drop-down list you specify the default method for generating subdirectories during the Rittal - Athex export:
- None: If you select this option, no subdirectories are generated during the export.
- From properties: If you select this option, the subdirectory name is made up of the project properties plus any freely-definable separators. Use the [...] button to open the Format: Property dialog to configure the subdirectories for the exported data. Here you can, for instance, use the "Separator" format element to generate a directory structure with several subdirectories arranged one below the other.
