Copying files to your E3D Installation

  1. Copy all the folders from c:\Program Files\Bentley\PlantSight E3D Bridge Extractor\Server\ExportMacros\PDMx folder to your PMLLIB path.

    You can get this path by querying in the E3D command window: Q EVAR |PMLLIB|

  2. After you place the scripts pack in the correct PMLLIB folder, you will need to execute a PML REHASH ALL in the E3D Command window or restart E3D.
