Installing the export macros for AVEVA PDMS 12.x.x

Parent topic: Installation and Configuration

Copying files to your PDMS Installation

  1. Copy all the folders from c:\Program Files\Bentley\PlantSight E3D Bridge Extractor\Server\ExportMacros\PDMx folder to your PMLLIB path, typically C:\AVEVA\Plant\PDMS12.x.x\PMLLIB.

    You can get this path by querying in the PDMS 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 PDMS Command window or restart PDMS.
