Syntax

C#
C++/CLI

public int GenerateCustomDrillingPatternsRittalAutomation( 
   Project oProject,
   StringCollection oFileNames,
   string strOutputDirectory,
   ref int nCountoursImported
)

public:
int GenerateCustomDrillingPatternsRittalAutomation( 
   Project^ oProject,
   StringCollection^ oFileNames,
   String^ strOutputDirectory,
   int% nCountoursImported
)

Parameters

oProject: Project from which data to macro will be taken. Can't be null.
oFileNames: List of full paths to Rittal Automation NC files used to import data. Only files with extensions: *.PBT, *.PVB and *.PKU are used. Can't be null.
strOutputDirectory: Output directory for user defined contours. If null or empty by default $MD_MACROS is used. If directory is passed then it must exists.
nCountoursImported: (Ref) Number of generated user defined contours files.

Return Value

Number of drilling patters added to system database.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	If any needed parameter is `null` or `empty`.
System.ArgumentException	If any parameter is invalid.
System.ApplicationException	Internal interface for master data could not be created. Please check if ProPanel add-on is installed and current license gives rights to use it.

Remarks

The import of drilling information from Rittal Automation NC files encompasses the files with file extensions: *.PBT, *.PVB and *.PKU.

With this method only drilling patterns for individual items can be generated, not however complete mounting panels from RittalAutomation item files (*.PBT or *.PVB).

A user-defined outline is created from a Rittal Automation outline file (*.PKU). A "NC Rittal Automation" record is already assigned to this outline. After the import you create a drilling pattern with drill type "User-defined outline" that uses the outline created by the import of the PKU file in the parts management.

This method uses a scheme called Standard when exporting the Rittal Automation NC data.
