Assets in the asset database can be exported to a PDMS DATAL File.

Access this command by going to File – To CAD Files – PDMS DATAL Export

You will be presented with the CAD Export Wizard. The first page of the wizard which is the Asset Selection page, allows you to specify the assets to export. Select the assets you wish to export and click the Next button on the asset selection page to export the selected assets. Please note that if you choose to export by Knowledge View or asset view, you will not be able to map hierarchies and assets will by default be mapped to PDMS Type EQUIPMENT only. To map hierarchies you must select one or more assets for export.

This will display the Export Options page which contains the following:

Target File

To specify the name and location of target DATAL file(s)

PDMS Type Mapping

To map V-Suite CORE hierachy to PDMS hierarchy

Naming Options

To optionally specify PDMS naming options

Once you have specified the target file you may click the Finish button to start the export.
