    • If you want to convert all CATDrwStandard files located in reffiles\Drafting to the current XML format, enter this command:
      CATAnnStandardTools MIGRATE_ALL [dir]
      where [dir] is an optional directory in which to write the resulting XML files. Local directory is the default.
    • If you want to convert a single CATDrwStandard file located in reffiles\Drafting to the current XML format, enter this command:
      CATAnnStandardTools MIGRATE XXX [dir]

      where XXX is the name of the standard you want to convert (ISO, ANSI...) and [dir] is an optional directory in which to write the resulting XML file. Local directory is the default.

Upgrade XML Standard Files from Previous Releases to the Current Level Using the Standard Automatic Upgrade Tool

Upgrade XML standard files from previous releases to the current level means upgrading the XML standard files customized in releases starting from V5R9.

  1. Open an MS-DOS Window.

  2. Change to the folder in which you installed the product. The default folder is \intel_a\code\bin.

  3. You have two options:


    • If you want to upgrade all XML files located in install_root\resources\standard\drafting to the current version, enter this command:
      CATAnnStandardTools UPGRADE_ALL [dir]
      where [dir] is an optional directory in which to write the resulting XML files. Local directory is the default.
    • If you want to upgrade a single XML file to the current version, enter this command:
      CATAnnStandardTools UPGRADE XXX [dir]

      where XXX is the name of the standard you want to convert (ISO, ANSI, MY_ISO...) and [dir] is an optional directory in which to write the resulting XML file. Local directory is the default.

      The batch will first search the standard file in the directory defined by the exported variable CATCollectionStandard (e.g. set CATCollectionStandard=e:\tmp), and then, if not found, in the following directory: install_root\resources\standard\drafting.
