The following request parameters are available:

Provides full file name (including path) of the drawing or graphic you want to open.

IMPORTANT: File name and path details must be bracketed in quote marks if they contain a space.

This parameter starts infra-CONVERT in the demonstration mode and no dongle will be searched.

Provides the full file name (including path) of the quality control plan you want to create.

Tip: If the path details are missing, the file is saved to the same directory as infra - CONVERT EXE.

If this parameter is not entered, the file manager is opened before saving. Three different formats are available:

• PRF
• DFD
• CSV

The resultant file format is determined by the extension provided.

IMPORTANT: File names and paths must be bracketed by quote marks if they contain a space.

This is the code for language you want to use. This parameter is optional. The default language is “de” /LANG=:

• de – Deutsch
• en – English
• fr – French ¹⁾
• cz – Czech ²⁾

Provides the name of the directory in which to create the graphic. The parameter is optional. If this parameter is not provided, the graphic is saved to the directory of the quality control plan (/PRF=).

IMPORTANT: File name and path must be bracketed in quote marks if they contain a spaces.

This switch results in the deletion of “All files” from the directory stated by parameters /GRAPHICPATH or /BMP on starting the programme.

Providing parameter /PRF only deletes PRF/DFD/CSV files.

WARNING: This function is irreversible!

Provides the OEM key necessary for starting the software.

Tip: No longer read off from Version 10.4. The INI file is no longer needed.

Provides a name for the XML file. This parameter is optional. If it is not provided, the file is saved under “C:\Documents and Settings \All Users\Application data\ELIAS GmbH\INFRA-CONVERT\INFRA-CONVERT.XML”.

If the file name does not include a path, the following “C:\Documents and Settings \All Users\Application data\ELIAS GmbH\INFRA-CONVERT\ is used.

IMPORTANT: The user must have write-rights for the target directory for the XML file and the file must not be write-protected. File name and path must be bracketed in quote marks if they contain a space.

Load the quality control plan: /Open=“C:\TMP\960-023-069.ICP

This option opens a quality (QCP) for editing. This is a binary file that cannot be edited and it also contains the information about the name and path of a drawing file.

Tip: If the drawing file does not exist, the file manager is opened.

The QCP file is created with feature list and graphic.

IMPORTANT: File names and paths must be bracketed by quote marks if they contain a space.

The file is saved in same directory as the PRF-/DFD-/CSV files and has an *.icp extension (infra - CONVERT Project). The file name itself is the same as that of the PRF-/DFD-/CSV file(s).

Tip: The /CAD= parameter can be used and overwrites settings in the ICP file. 

Viewing a feature: /View=1

Used in combination with the Open parameter this parameter can display a specified feature. The stamp is activated and the zoom area shown.

The feature ID from the pdf file is used as argument. An ID of 0 (Null) displays the complete drawing

Tip: Feature ID must be different to the stamp text.

This defines the export of graphics for the QCP.

Tip: The value has to be delivered as a decimal value!

Tip: The file names of graphics are combined to include the ID for each feature. This ID can be different to the stamp text. The main part of the name is taken from that of the quality control plan or the drawing (from Version 10.9.1). Configuration is done in a settings dialogue.

The various options are combinable and included in table below:

Tip: This parameter is optional. If it is not provided, the individual features are provided with stamps (Option 0x000002) in BMP format (Option 0x000010)

/STPNO=10.0

Start value for stamps; this value can be overwritten in the settings in the XML file.

Tip: This value can be in decimal format! Use a point as decimal character!

/STPIN=0.3

Increment for stamp number; this value can be overwritten in the settings in the XML file. 

/STPFMT=”%.1f”

Format string for stamp text, this value can be overwritten in the settings in the XML file.

Tip: The format string must be bracketed in quote marks.

/SFT=0

• 0 = Do not display feature table
• 1 = Display feature table

Tip: This parameter is read off only at programme start and does not change the standard setting. Users can show or hide the table at will.

This parameter can provide a ICP file that already belongs to a stamped drawing. If the latest edit version of drawing is stamped, it is checked to see if the stamp already exists in the old version. If yes, the same stamp number is issued and is also write-protected.

Tip: Do not use this parameter with /OPEN! 

This parameter can provide a text file that contains a list of features to delete from an existing quality control plan.

Content of the file:

DELETE-STAMP:<Stamp-No. 1>;<Stamp-No. 2>;...;<Stamp-No. X>

Optional:

DELETE-ID:<Feature-ID 1>;<Feature-ID 2>;...;<Feature-ID X>

Tip: Only use this parameter with /OPEN!
