Startup parameter file

The startup parameter file summarizes parameters to be passed when starting infra CONVERT in a file in JSON format. This page describes under Basics the call, the basic requirements, the start parameter “forceConfigDir” and in the following sections the individual parts of the start parameter file. Examples of start parameter scenarios can be found in section Examples for start parameter files.

Basics

Call up

The path to the start parameter file is passed to the command to run infra CONVERT with “parameter”. Example with any file path:

…/InfraConvertWPF.exe -parameter="C:/Windows/Temp/StartParameterFile.json"

Note Note that special characters in the name/path of the startup parameter file will only be passed correctly to infra CONVERT if they have been encoded correctly. This can be ensured in a batch file saved as UTF-8, for example, by specifying the code page CHCP 65001 for UTF-8. Example:
chcp 65001
…/InfraConvertWpf.exe -parameter="Démarrer.json"

Basic requirements for the startup parameter file

The character encoding UTF-8 is expected.
Paths can be specified absolute or relative.
The file can contain any part of the parameters presented here.
The file must adhere to the provisions of the JSON format.

Startup parameter »forceConfigDir«

Outside the start parameter file another call up parameter can be used. With “forceConfigDir” another location for the directory with configuration and template files can be defined than the directory “%ProgramData%/ELIAS GmbH/infra-Convert” created by default during installation.

…/InfraConvertWPF.exe -forceConfigDir="C:/ProgramData/ELIAS GmbH/infra-Convert"

It is also possible to pass both parameters at the same time:

…/InfraConvertWPF.exe -parameter="…/" -forceConfigDir="…/"

Note to When using “forceConfigDir”, make sure that you also adapt the paths for the directory with Excel template files (parameter ExcelReportsPath) and the directory with tolerance tables (parameter ToleranceTablePath) in the configuration file “settings.json”.

Setting the language

Use the LanguageCode field to specify the language of the user interface of infra CONVERT.

Without this code, the default language set in the operating system will automatically be used. If it is not supported by infra CONVERT, English will always be set.

Export quality test plans and stamped drawings

With the Targets field, specify that when the Save project command is executed in quality test plans and/or stamped drawings and/or drawing details in infra CONVERT should be exported.

Exports are done in list order (from programme version 2.7.9). Test plans should be exported at the end. At least in JSONV2 format, the storage paths for stamp graphics are only listed if the target export has run beforehand.

Note We recommend you use the quality test plan format JSONV2 because it supports all the characteristics of infra CONVERT.

Invoke function

With the Mode field, call up a function in infra CONVERT when it is launched. The function will not be executed, but it will be opened and is thus directly available to the user. The following functions are currently available (more will follow):

Tag tool
AddCharacteristicTag
Calls up the tag tool function, see User’s Manual > Functions > characteristics > Tag.

Drawing comparison
Compare Documents
Calls up the drawing comparison, see User's manual > User interface > Function window > Drawing comparison and User’s Manual > Functions > Zeichnungen vergleichen (Basic version) respectively Drawing comparison (Pro version).

The following applies for the Tag tool function:

"Mode": {
  "Name": "AddCharacteristicTag",
  "ItemId": "{5D1110CA-6093-4381-B372-CF983D515044}"
}

Parameter	Type	Value/Content
Name	String	AddCharacteristicTag
ItemId	String	GUID of the tag

The following applies for the Drawing comparison function:

"Mode":{  
   "Name":"CompareDocuments",
   "SourceInspectionPlanVersion":{  
      "Name":"Neuer Prüfplan",
      "Version":"A"
   },
   "TargetInspectionPlanVersion":{  
      "Name":"Neuer Prüfplan",
      "Version":"B"
   },
   "SourceDocumentOriginalFileName":"ez-29002675001-84-0_1.dxf",
   "TargetDocumentOriginalFileName":"ez-29002675001-84-a_1.dxf"
}

└ Version	String	Version number of the source test plan version
TargetInspectionPlanVersion	Field
└ Name	String	Name of the target test plan version
└ Version	String	Version number of the target test plan version
SourceDocumentOriginalFileName	String	File name of the source drawing sheet
TargetDocumentOriginalFileName	String	File name of the target drawing sheet

Zoom on stamp

When opening a project, you can set the view in the drawing window to a specific stamp. infra CONVERT focuses the stamp and zooms in so far that the corresponding drawing entry including the surrounding area is fitted into the window.

Each stamp in an ICPX file is assigned a GUID. Pass it in the field ZoomToStampGuid. If characteristics have been linked by transfer or merge in the drawing comparison, you can also transfer the ID of the original stamp, then the system zooms to the corresponding stamp of the latest inspection plan version.

If ICP files are loaded into a project, the GUIDs of the stamps may not be known. In this case, you can also pass the stamp ID. Use the field ZoomToStampIcpId. In this field you must also specify the test plan version and the name of the ICP file, because the ID from infra - CONVERT is only valid within an ICP project.

Note
infra CONVERT can also be used as a viewer with the zoom functionality. Disable user interface controls (see “Configuration and Import > Parameter file "UiAccess"”) to prevent data corruption. To view ICP files, temporarily create an ICPX project and load the ICP file into a test plan version.

The GUID of the stamp is known:

"ZoomToStampGuid":{  
   "Id":"{56422575-2376-497f-b633-8dbe06626fab}"
}

Parameter	Type	Value/Content
Id	String	GUID of the stamps

Only the ID of the stamp in the ICP file is known:

"ZoomToStampIcpId":{
   "InspectionPlanVersion":{  
      "Name":"Neuer Prüfplan",
      "Version":"A"
   },
   "DocumentName":"ez-29002675001-84-0_1.icp",
   "Id":"3"
}

Parameter	Type	Value/Content
InspectionPlanVersion	Feld
└ Name	String	Title of the test plan version
└ Version	String	Version number
DocumentName	String	Name of the ICP file
Id	String	ICP ID

Settings

The path to the parameter file Settings.json is specified in the Settings field. infra CONVERT obtains the global settings from this file.

Examples for start parameter files

A compilation of different start parameter scenarios can be downloaded here: infra_CONVERT_Parametertest.zip, size: 2 MB. The examples are designed in such a way that you can execute each scenario directly with the included BAT file.

Start with specific parameter files
10 - Start with specific parameter files

The user starts after starting infra CONVERT on the start page. A selection of settings (“settings.json”) are set at start-up. If the user creates a project, the transferred templates (stamp templates, categories, tags and classes) are used.

Create project and export when closing
20 - Create project and export

After the start a new project “Project-001” with two drawing files in a test plan version “Test plan A” is automatically created. If the user saves the project, a test plan “Test plan-001” in JSON format and drawing and stamp views are exported in JPG format in a subdirectory “Export”.

Create new test plan version and start drawing comparison
30 - Compare drawings

An already existing project “Project-001” is loaded. The project contains two stamped drawing sheets in a test plan version “Test plan A”. At startup, a new test plan version “Test plan B” is created with a new version of each of the two drawing sheets. The user starts the drawing comparison with sheet 1.

Zoom to stamp via GUID
40 - Zoom to stamp via GUID

A stamp in an existing project is zoomed in by specifying the GUID of the stamp. In the example, the GUID was read from the previously exported test plan “Test plan-001.json”.

Zoom to stamp via ICP-ID
41 - Zoom to stamp via ICP-ID

A (temporary) project is created and an ICP file (project file from infra - CONVERT) is loaded. Only the ID (“ICP-ID”) of the characteristic or the stamp in the ICP file is known.

Zoom to stamp via CompareSourceId
42 - Zoom to stamp via CompareSourceId

A stamp in the more recent of two test plan versions is zoomed in. Only the GUID of the stamp in the original version of the test plan versions is known. This GUID is transferred to the transferred or merged characteristic during the drawing comparison using the CompareSourceId.
